Just put up *the answer* or shut up!!

What's the stretch?
Geometry and dimension...

And, still again, in order to understand the answer,
you would have to understand the basics of general
relativity. Have you done this?

See, I'm not about to try to teach you what typically
takes a full eight months of university effort, usually
at the fourth year level. There really is no point in
talking to you about cosmological solutions to the
general relativity equations if you don't know what
the GR equations are, what solutions to them mean, or
what a cosmological solution is.

Do you even know what a metric is? Or what a curvature
tensor is? Or what a geodesic path is? Really, it's
hopeless to try to answer your questions if you don't.

You are like a little child demanding to understand
how the television works, but can't accept that it
requires a great deal of understanding of electronics.
Well, if you want more understanding than is available
to a little child, you have to learn more than that
little child.

But I'm not holding out much hope.

xxein: That is your accepted belief. Do I have to explain what a
belief is? Does an aspirin cure a headache or does it just alleviate
the sensation? Show me a metric.

What is voodoo? What is a psychological profile? What is a relative
anything? Show me a metric.

Go to a movie. Did you like it? Show me a metric.

A metric, as mathematical as is you may want it to be, is just a belief
that you will accept. Nothing more.

2+2 is a metric. Is your wife a metric also?

Is something you do not understand a metric? Is everything a you
decide to examine a metric?

Please tell me 'what is a metric'?
