Blender is such a remarkable piece of software
I think that someone could extend this to gravitational lensing, space-time warping, etc. maybe even using observations of stars from Hubble or JWST.
I started into Blender several years ago to model some detector motion for sensors we had deployed on a large project. I wanted to demonstrate to the client that their sensor packages were not firmly anchored and the geometry changes identified could lead to incorrect interpretations if they were not handled in processing. I was able to make a short movie of the sensor motion of some of the packages to help them see that their estimates of stream current speed should've been taken near the deployment point instead of downstream where the stream channel profile was markedly different since that drove the choice of weights used for the sensor packages. It was obvious from the data that some of those sensors were flopping around, sliding across the stream bed, etc every time the tides came in. Pretty funny.
