"geometry"????

there are no lines in space!

There is no linear in space..

no circles
no triangles
no squares, etc

none of those shapes
you people use a crayon
to draw shapes with.

dat pyramid in egypt...
those are earth measurements..
people project unto space..

but they don't exist!


You know, with all dis math and physics..
attempt to put together
yous created a fake world dat don't exist out there.

In other words, there is no Physics.

yous made it all up!

You experts
are experts
in making
stuff up!

to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable,
