    Did you ever acknowledge my point that Einstein should have understood
    that parallel lines would have to meet for space to curve? Isn't it
    stupid as hell not to recognize that? If he had been an honest and
    forthright person, he would have said we have to presume that parallel
    lines meet to claim space is curved, and this is our derivation for the
    doubling of the Newtonian deflection. Then, every reasonable person
    would have balked at such an irrational assumption and recognized him as >>> a foolish fellow.

    Think of drawing two horizontal lines on a spheres surface. They will
    never intersect.
    You presume space can be treated as a surface. That is a petitio
    principii. You presume it's curved to conclude it's curved. It's not a surface and its not curved.

    Your "petitio principii" is that a 3D space, or a 4D space-time can be
    "curved" the same way a surface can be. Why that?

    principii. You presume it's curved to conclude it's curved. It's not a
    surface and its not curved.

    If it was curved a bit, then I can see how two parallel lines might
    intersect at a point at infinity, so to speak, in a strange sense. It's
    strange to me. When I plot field individual lines in one of my
    experimental fields, they never intersect even though they twist and
    turn through the field...
    Fields can curve while space cannot.

    "Laurence", what is your level of education in maths? Just asking.

    BTW, so, how do you recognize a space geodesic?

    (of course the teachers textbooks come with the answers)

    You need to investigate the 'textbooks monopoly' cartel.


    The cabal decides what they want you to think.

    You presume space can be treated as a surface. That is a petitio

    If it was curved a bit, then I can see how two parallel lines might
    intersect at a point at infinity, so to speak, in a strange sense. It's
    strange to me. When I plot field individual lines in one of my
    experimental fields, they never intersect even though they twist and
    turn through the field...
    Fields can curve while space cannot.

    "Laurence", what is your level of education in maths? Just asking.

    Python, the new Henri Poincaré just asking.

    Le même qui n'est pas capable de pratiquer l'amour anal avec Hachel, et
    qui se met à pleurer parce que c'est trop profond.

    The new Henri Poincaré, qu'il disait.

    BTW, Woz, what is your level of education in math? :-)

    It is good enough, Pyt.

    In physics, he is unable to understand the difference between a proper,
    real, and observable time.
    He does not know that if the observable times are equal over an equal
    distance, the proper times will be equal.
    He does not know a lot of stuff that I patiently explained to him on
    French forums.
    He does not even know how to explain what a complex number is and why
    there is a real root and an imaginary root.
    He is crazy.
    Then he asks others to show their diploma, as if you could not buy a
    diploma.
    He is laughable.
    Even I laugh.
