Fig. 1 Hollow numbskulls |
Look at the red ball, Novice Bill. You see how it goes back and forth when I shake the tree? That's what we call a geodesic in relativity! That's a straight line! |
You and your friend depart from the same location (A) on a balloon and walk towards B. You walk through the hollow shell along the diameter (red itinerary) and he goes around the circumference (green itinerary). Who has the shortest route? Relativists allege that the green path is the shortest route. The reason they reach this conclusion is that they insinuate that you can’t go through the sphere because it is a solid ball. (Perhaps they have planet Earth in mind?) However, the official definition of the word sphere in Mathematics is the notion of a hollow balloon. The only reason the mathematicians can get away with their ridiculous explanation is that they arbitrarily invoke the geodesic of Math and the sphere of Physics when it suits their arguments. If tomorrow we perforate through the core of the planet, will the idiots of Mathematics continue to insist that a geodesic (along the surface of Earth) is the shortest length or distance between Tokyo and Buenos Aires? |
