As we speak they still propagate that space around the sun an earth
is curved

But what does they mean, really, they use words they dont understand

curved as compressed space? no, you cant compress vacuum

curved as taking some space out of space making it thinner? no, you
cant
rip permittivity and permeability out of vacuum. Even if you could,
that would
violate 2nd thermo, because destroying space you destroy vacuum which
you cant.

what else? time curved? no, time at best only dilates not curves.

in conclusion curved space-time is just another anomaly in relativity
they dont want to check

What they mean is that the angles in a triangle don't sum to 180 degrees.
That's what they mean by 'curved'

And it is exactly the same in space.

You are incorrect - angles in space do not add up to 180 degrees near
objects with mass.

Why the foul language? Is it necceary? Just because you disagree with

And you know this because .....


Tell you what. First calculate the amount that the distances will change
according to "their" theory. Then determine a way to measure that distance
knowing that you can't use regular yard sticks, because the yard sticks
length will decrease too. Then devise an experiment which will be able to
detect this change. Then build it and execute the experiment. Or better yet;
make a prediction based on that alteration and space and then see if that
prediction actually occurs in nature. Compare it with what you'd predict.

Guess what? Its already been done! Want to take a guess at whether the
results were consistent with general relativity or not?

> the laws of physics and mathematics are same everywhere

That's true. The law's of physics are the same everywhere in the universe.
However that doesn't mean that all measurements are the same everywhere. In
some places there are only electric fields, in other places there are only
magnetic fields while in still other places there are gravitational fields.
In general there is a combination of all three (the first two really being
two parts of a single field, i.e. the EM field). This said, just because the
laws of physics are the same everywhere it doesn't mean that the properties
of space itself is the same everywhere. One merely has to observe nature and
it will tell you this is the case.

They mean like trying to walk a "straight line" on the surface of the
Earth, even one poished smoother than a ball bearing. The results are
surprising.

Like a right triangle, with three right angles... one at the pole and
the other two on the equator.

Actually Dredd is thinking of the very special example of the curved surface
of a sphere. In general one can't expect that to be true. Especially in
spaces of negative curvature. In that case its possible for the angles to
add up to less than 180 degrees.

Dredd - I recommend that you first learn the theory and the math before you
try to bash it.

If the space isn't flat then yes, that's true. However when space-time is
curved its quite possible that space itself is flat even though the
space-time is curved.

I think the distinction between space and spacetime would be lost on him
anyway. In essence, what's being asked is 'how does one distinguish between
flat and curved space". It's reasonable to express the difference in
geometrical terms.

Maybe you could resaerch your topic more thoroughly before making a

xxein: Curved space-time an attempt by free energy to come to an
equilibrium state. The free energy field is affected by various
states of activity that produce more free energy (supernovas) to free
energy users (black holes). It all moves according to how the free
energy moves --- like being in moving water.

The time part occurs as a separate condition. While on Earth's
surface we can't fall anymore. But the mass of the Earth is drawing
energy (gravity). That's what holds it together. The energy passing
the surface is almost at a constant velocity as it passes by. We are
not traveling in space as much as space is traveling through us to the
Earth mass.

At the Earth's surface, a free-falling body dropped from an ideally
infinity distance will achieve an apparent velocity of ~11185 m/s.
That body is merely going along with the free energy field. It
started at 0 velocity, followed in the field and arrives here just
before it crashes with the same timerate it had when it started. All
of a sudden it has to stop. Now it is going at a velocity that is
~11185 m/s less than the energy field it was traveling with. Check
out what our timerate on Earth's surface is. It is almost exactly the
same as that expected of an object traveling in space at 11185 m/s (to
12 to 14 significant digits).

Because mass is rather spherical in nature, the incoming energy has a
gradient field (gravitation). As any part of the energy-field-body
gets closer to mass, its velocity increases (much as like in large
pond with a drain).

With the combination of a non-inertial clock wrt the free energy field
movement and the energy's movement wrt a mass, things get that curved
look. It is both natural and necessary to maintain a continuity.
Only when light is traveling in an energy flow that is faster than
lightspeed do we get the appearance of a discontinuity. We see this
around black holes and yet we can still see light from behind them as
curved if it doesn't become captured by the BH. This is what the wiki
ref (as well as others) was trying to show you.

It is as real as anything you consider as real. We have real evidence
that cannot even be subject to theoretical interpretation to challenge
its existence. I share your disbelief of animated representations,
however. They do not always represent the reality and are made to
exaggerate the author's view. Not that the exaggeration, itself, is a
problem (I do it all the time to show a point more clearly), but that
the exact mechanism is not followed by the author to describe what is
actually happening in the physic. So while we cannot deny the
existence of a physical behavior, we can certainly interpret the
process for that behavior as differently as day or night.

No, using any coordinate system, you will always find space to be
flat. Thus, every triangle will have their angles summed up to be 180
degrees regardless whether if space is flat or curved. So,
introducing three parties:

** A = An object to be observed (the geometry)
** B = An observer located right at A
** C = Distant observer

The only way to tell if space at A (and thus B) is flat or curved is
to compare the observations of A between B’s and C’s. So, long before
the Goettingen group of mathematicians including Hilbert, Klein,
Schwarzschild, and Minkowski wrote down the following, Riemann had
already done so. All these had happened way before the plagiarism of
Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar.

ds^2 = g_ij dq^i dq^j

Where

** ds = Actual distance (geometry)
** dq^i, dq^j = C’s choice of coordinate system
** g_ij = Elements of the metric associated with dq^i

The following describes what C’s observation of A is.

du^2 = h_ij dq^i dq^j

Where

** du = Observed distance (geometry) by C
** h_ij = Elements of another matrix [h]

Any direct observation (du) of any geometry even if curved is always
flat. Comparing the two matrices [g] and [h] will then tell the
curvature of A represented by ds. The question is to find [g]. [g]
cannot be determined through a direct observation because any direct
observation will always yield [h]. If the space at C is also curved,
the situation becomes more complicated, but the idea is still the
same.

There appear to be several ways of gauging the curvature. For
example, the Riemann curvature tensor was invented by Ricci derived
through double covariant derivatives (man-made operator), and the
Ricci curvature tensor was invented by Levi-Civita based on the
Riemann curvature tensor. The field equations are a set of
differential equations the yield each elements of the matrix [g] as
their solutions. The man-made mathematical artifact, the Ricci (and
thus the Riemann) curvature tensor, plays a major role in describing
the field equations.

This post is intended as another Trojan horse to be collected by the
nitwit moortel like so many of mine before.

What Dredd is missing here is the fact that curved spacetime has been
checked. People who choose not to learn the theory they object to often make
these kinds of mistakes.

Sure, as usual, your contributions are a solid confirmation of
Einstein theories.

Bertoti says:

"...Here we report a measurement of the frequency shift of radio
photons to and from the Cassini spacecraft as they passed near the
Sun. Our result, italic gamma = 1 + (2.1 plusminus 2.3) times 10-5,
agrees with the predictions of standard general relativity with a
sensitivity that approaches the level at which, theoretically,
deviations are expected in some cosmological models..."

Well Sue, your problem is that the refractive index page you quote has
nothing whatsoever to do with gravitational lensing. As you usually
do, it is an irrelevant quote to the thread.
It would be good for you to read what you cite before quoting. Many
here over the years have told you the same, but to no avail.
So put another quote, but this time relevant to the issue under
discussion.

With respect to this affirmation of yours, in your quote there is not
a single dot that could be interpreted, in some convoluted way, as
"refraction".
What it is clear in the abstract you quoted, is that they are
confirming, with a high degree of confidence, that the gamma term
corresponds with the one general relativity predicts (that is
gamma=1).

<<Abstract Doppler tracking of an interplanetary spacecraft
near solar conjunction is strongly affected by the plasma
in the solar corona,

the main competitive contribution in measurements of
the gravitational deflection of light rays.


With the simultaneous availability of carriers in X band
and Ka band for interplanetary communications, the plasma
contribution to the corona can be accurately eliminated
and measured. If, as in the Cassini mission, three different
observables are available, this can be done in two ways:
one deals with the total plasma content in the electric
approximation, even in the ionosphere and interplanetary
space; another is limited to the corona, but has access
to subtler effects, like the magnetic correction to the
refractive index. This technique will allow important
progress in the radio investigation of the solar corona.>>

Thank you.
I accept your insult and failure to see relevance in:

"the main competitive contribution in measurements of
the gravitational deflection of light rays."

as proof of you unwavering faith.

This is your response...to pull a rabbit out of your hat?
Did your original quote, that is, http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v425/n6956/full/nature01997.html,
has anything to do with your new quote?...who is insulting here?

It sounds like you are confused between the spherical shape of the
earth with curved space.

I know you are too shallow-minded to claim such an absurdity. <shrug>

What do you mean by “checked”? Have you met face to face with God?
According to the religion of GR, God is spacetime; the Gospel is the
covariant derivative; Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the
liar is the prophet and the messiah.

You are incorrectly describing the faith of GR as a theory. <shrug>

This concludes another example of the Orwellian educational system
where:

** MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
** PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
** CONJECTURE IS REALITY
** FAITH IS THEORY
** LYING IS TEACHING
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING
