| | | What does a metric encode?
| | |
| | | Forget spacetime for a second, and consider the simpler example of
a

system.
| | | In this coordinate system, let the metric be:
| | |
| | | ds^2 = dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2
| |
| | The Manhattan metric is d = x+y+z. Use that if you want to argue
| metrics.
| | It is simple enough, the distance you travel is up, sideways and
| forward.

| | Right, simple enough:

It is known that local village dog **** Dork has never studied mathematics

It's amusing to watch you turn red and splutter when you can't find (or
admit) your mistakes. Phuckwit Duck and Blind Poe didn't find the mistake
quite easily without you pointing it out to them, and yet you can't find it
when led
by the hand.

Let's take that as an object lesson, shall we? Perhaps this is one of
the reasons why you make so many short trips to Stupidity. Perhaps this is
also one of the reasons why your long-standing hobby of foaming and
blathering about relativity is a prodigious waste of time. Sort of like
trying to stretch holes in a piece of spacetime with a strand of
undercooked latex.
