Do you know what ein ersplitten ladenburmer is ?
OK, as expected, - then it is you that don’t know anything about anything.
Why don't you explain how and why matter curves space, - and what make it possible for space to curve, - how speed of matter create mass and hence gravity, - or how time is disturbed by space?
Well, because you don't know what you are talking about, right?
Shortly spoken you know almost nothing about what you are dealing with.
All you have is a word.
Cows to curves, but this explain nothing about why a cow is or cow, - what it is made of, - how it was made, - or why it is here on the planet - does it ?
Nope.. not off hand... Should I know?
Am I claiming that the existing "theory" is wrong and plainly incorrect? no.
Am I claiming that units of acceleration are m/s? no
Am I claiming that the existing mathematical description is wrong without offering anything to replace it? no
Am I the one who misunderstands basic acceleration due to gravity, GR, SR etc? no.
You seem to still be misunderstanding what GR tells us about space-time and its relationship to curvature, matter and gravity.
If you are asking me WHY matter curves space-time and want a simple description devoid of any maths or physics then I am not sure I can offer you one (or anyone else for that matter).
Note I am talking about space-time... not space.. not time.. space-time.
If you want a simple synopsis I can offer this:
On the left you have a description that is purely geometrical.. it describes the curvature of space-time. It is a mathematical description of the 'curvature' of space-time. This means it describes a mathematical property of how a four dimensional "thing" changes as you "move" across it...i.e. it describes how "curved" it is (note you must NOT get too hooked on the word curvature here in the everyday sense.. we are talking about higher dimensional mathematical structures and you can get the wrong idea if you insist on thinking of curvature as purely being the "curve" of your car's slopes or similar).
On the right you have the energy-momentum tensor. This is purely to do with "mass" (or energy if you prefer...they are equivalent) in the physical universe.
This is one of the most beautiful results in all of physics.
On the left you have a purely geometrical thing, a thing of shapes, a thing of ideas, a thing of mathematicians' dreams... on the right you have a purely physical thing.. a thing of mass, energy, momentum, movement, stuff... pure physics... hands on "real" stuff you can measure...
and the beauty is that equals sign...
the way one is related directly to the other...
Wonderful stuff... and knowing the full background to the maths and physics and building up to it over several years only heightens the wonder at arriving at that equation.
My questions pre-empted yours above.. I asked what a Ricci tensor was, and contravarient and covarient for several reasons.
1. I wanted to know if you were familiar with them so I didn't talk down to you if you were already well versed in this maths.
2. I wanted to see your reaction, if you would "google" them and try to bluff your way through.
3. I wanted to see if you would ignore those questions and try to turn the tables and avoid the questions and extend the thread by deliberately evading the very answers you seek.
4. I wanted to see if you were genuinely interested in these items or even the fact that I asked about them (i.e. "no I have not got a clue what they are ... why do you ask? what have they got to do with ...")
Your response was quite telling.
If you want the full maths then I suggest we clear up the GCSE level mathematics problems before we attempt any degree or post-degree level mathematics that fully describe GR and the curvature of space-time.
I am quite willing to sit down and explain SR and GR to you but it would take one hell of a thread to get through it from the start.
If it is a petty game of credentials you want I can provide direct evidence of my qualifications if you wish.
I have a first class degree in mathematics and astrophysics and I studied cosmology (dark matter) for my PhD work.
You?
