Why physicists use the mathematically beauty of 4-D and give
ONLY an ABSTRACT, not CONCRETE image of this beautiful WORLD ?
Because it describes the observed phenomena MUCH better than Euclidean
geometry (3D+time).
Until we don't see the concrete image of 4-D, [...]
Hopeless. Humans live at the scale of our everyday lives, which is never
going to "see" the 4-D spacetime of relativity. But that does NOT mean relativity is wrong, it just means it is important at other scales.
In your everyday life you cannot walk on the ceiling.
But ants do it all the time. The scale of an ant is
MUCH closer to the scale of your everyday life than
the scales where relativity is important.
