Poor little relativistic doggie is pretending

of coordinates with his symmetry mania.

To treat time as a coordinate is  a VERY bad idea!


This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space.

But time does not define a position in space.

Actually time values do not define 'positions' in time , neither.

The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a 
zero point in time and can't do that.

Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that, 
but is most likely wrong.

Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book 
of Genesis 'scientific', but it's also quite illogic.

Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain 
beginning, but a visible subset is.

The 'real universe' is mainly invisible, hence we cannot know, whether 
or not it had a beginning.

At leat we cannot measure the beginning and that would make the use of 
such a startig point in time next to impossible.

By "coordinates" we usually mean a tuple of (usually continuous) functions
from elements of a some spece (the physical space or spacetime or some
abstract mathematical space) or a part of one with the property that
the tuple of the values of those functions for one point identifies the
point.

Actually we mean the entries of a tupel with 'coordinates'.

The tupels themselves are mostly vectors.


It is also not a very good idea to confuse mathematical and physical spaces.

With 'physical space' we usually adress 'the universe' or something similar.

But we could make a vector out of a coordinate very easily, if we create 
a tupel, that has only one non-zero entry.

This is allowed in physical space only for three coordinates, while time 
has only one entry.

Since we have only one time position available (in a four-tupel), we 
cannot treat time as a coordinate of physical space (because three 
positions of a four-tupel are already occupied by the three real axes of 
space).

To solve this issue and to allow time to be threedimensional, too, I had 
the suggestion to use bi-quaternions.

Then time is locally imaginary and remains imaginary, even if the entire 
system is rotated.

Then 'space' would become 'time dependent' and matter filling that 
space, too.

Yes, but only if the functions together form a coordinate system.

> The tupels themselves are mostly vectors.

Although it is possible to consider them as vectors in some vector
space that is not useful for their use as coordinates. In some
geometries (but not all) the difference of two points is a good
vector and it is possible to have a coordinate system where the
componets of that vector can be calculated from the coodinates
interpreted as vector components.

Since I'm the only expert on earth regarding Before the big bang...

the "starting point" can easily be measured.

The stars are the measuring points in space.

Each star is a point in space.

You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were
around since the beginning of the big bang, (and before).

How do you measure the starting point? You need to 
reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).

When you accomplish that...
you will find all the stars evenly
distributed in the form of a ...grid.

This is wrong, because what we call 'stars' are actually points within 
our own home galaxy.

Such points are not even stable with respect to our own galaxy, be our 
galaxy moves, too.

I would regard the so called 'big-bang' as a 'white hole'.

A 'white hole' is kind of 'back-side' of a black hole.

Since the white side follows the black-hole-side in time, we could say:

the 'big-bang' is the temporal future of the 'big crunch'.


Now: this 'temporal order' is not THE order, but only one possible 
(temporal) order (out of many).

This means, that 'big bang' is actually 'relative' and dependent on our 
own axis of time.

 From this would follow, that we cannot even regard 'big bang' as an 
absolute anchor in time, because every possible universe would have an 
own 'big bang' which all are different.

Sure, but we cann't, because we can only see into our own past-light-cone.

The 'real space' is mainly invisible.

When you  reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space)...you
enter  our own past-light-cone.

The 'real space' is not  invisible...a fish space is ...wet.

 'real space' is a very dark blue color...and it's also wet.

it has...waves.

I snap my fingers now.
This is a event.
An event happens at one point in time, and one point in space.
An event doesn't move in space or time.
Four entities must be used to define an event.
It is common to call these four entities coordinates.
So we have four coordinates, one temporal, three spatial.
(temporal = related to time, spatial = related to space)

But the spatial coordinate system, and the time coordinate
must be defined, they are not given by nature.

I choose to use the Earth fixed Geographic coordinate system,
so the spatial coordinates are latitude (lat), longitude (long)
and altitude (alt)

I choose to use the Gregorian calendar and UTC for the time coordinate.

So the coordinates of my finger snap are:
    t = 2025-10-15, 09:52:31 UTC
  lat = 58⁰ 19' 41"
long =  8⁰ 34' 06"
  alt = 37m

We are however free to use other temporal and spatial coordinates.
But they must be precisely defined.

> The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a

Which planet do you live at?

Have you never, here on Earth, had a date with your dentist?
Did he ask you to meet at a 'point in time, or in some duration?
Did he say: "meet at my office in 54 hours and 37 minutes", or
did he say: "meet at my office at, e.g. September 13. 2025 14:30" ?
(where 14:30 is in the local time zone based on UTC)

If you said to your dentist that it was impossible to meet
at September 13. 2025 14:30, because "the zero point is not defined",
he would probably consider you to be an idiot.

Would he be right?>

Nope. I could explain you how the concept of coordinates is generalized in 
Riemannien manifolds from affine spaces (that are no more there in GR for 
instance, while they are in SR) by "gluing maps" (i.e. local isomorphisms 
to R^n) together and using tangent spaces (i.e. velocities in GR).

But you've never wanted to learn anything in your miserable life, now less 
than ever...

I guess that topology is also a "shit" in your stupid, ignorant, stubborn, 
demented mind, isn't it?

when you snap your fingers you snap two fingers. Each finger is at a
different point of space and time. 

i don't want to bother you with the energy surrounding the snap, ...

you are an anglo-saxon big nose, incapable to read yourself, as that event 
is direct related to event year 0000, time 00:00:00. Amazing, my friend.

Consider the following scenario:
Given an Euclidean space where the axes are called x, y and z.
A is a point at x = 0, y = 0 and z = 0.
B is a point at x = L, y = 0 and z = 0.
Clock Ca is placed at A and another, equal clock Cb is at B.
The two clocks simultaneously show the same; they are synchronous.
An object is moving at constant speed from A to B.
When the object is at A clock Ca shows t = ta.
When the object is at B clock Cb shows t = tb.

The time the object used to travel from A to B is Δt = tb - ta.
The object was moving at the speed v = L/Δt = L/(tb - ta).

Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics
and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT).

Why does the fact that there is no 'time' in the metric
ds² = dx² + dY² + dz² imply that the time Δt is 'absolute'?

What does it mean that the time Δt is defined "as absolute measure"?

Of course time and space are fundamentally distinct entities.

But what do you mean with the statement:
"time and geometry are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

Is this different from:
"space and geometry are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

or:
"distance and geography are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

Aren't all these statements rather stupid truisms, like
"apples and vegetables are treated as fundamentally distinct entities"?

Time and space are fundamentally distinct entities.

Of course 'time' isn't a part of 'space', so the statement:
"time is 'internal' to space" is meaningless.

And so is the statement: "time is 'external' to space".

"Not relative" is "absolute".

In Newtonian Mechanics Galilean relativity applies,
but SRT is absolute? :-D

SRT has been fully understood and succesfully used by others who
know nothing about Eisntei's secrets.

Even the hardest fanatics of The Shit
are not stupid enough to even try to
use it. They only pretend. That usually
happens to religious maniacs.
