How can i demonstrate Einsteins General theory of Relativity?

How can i demonstrate Einsteins General theory of Relativity using props or a drawing in a black board or an animation on the internet.|||perhaps the easiest way is to reproduce the situation that Eddington photographed while on the island of Principe in 1919.





(curvature of space-time near the sun - which bent the path of light from distant stars - even though photons are massless!).

and see the image at the upper right of this link

note this picture is 2D in the sense that it shows only one plane being curved. in reality all planes look like this. but i think you get the idea...





cheers
