Again, with my chosen coordinate system, I need to know the metric to

should be a very fundamental concept, no?

If you know it so well, how come you are incapable of computing
anything with it?

You just don't understand the basics, and that is handicapping your
claims. shrug

Who is it that does not understand the basics? I got A+ in all
of the classes I took in differential geometry. Plus the classes
I took in relativity. And then there's the classes I *taught* in
relativity.

If you think you can't determine the metric by observation, then
you don't understand what a metric is.

It should be a fundamental concept. It seems to be eluding you.

Oh, dear. We have another nut case here who thinks he knows how space
is curving by directly looking into that curved space. This nut case
is also bragging about getting exceptional high grade in differential
geometry. shrug

As a nut case, the only audience would probably be squirrels and
rodents in your backyard. Yes, they understand relativity very well
--- better than you do. shrug

Why the subject of relativity always brings out these nuts? Where did
they come from?

Who, you?
We know that, you are a stupid aetherialist, just as nuts as any relativist.
