When you say "you don't know how to measure [the metric]", it
tells me immediately that you do not understand what the game
is all about (not just in GR but in science in general). This
I certainly cannot teach you here.

You shoehorn everything into what happens to be your field of
expertise and yell invective at everyone who dares to point out
the silliness of this approach.

Science, poor idiot, is an information construct. It happened
to be in my field of expertise. You do not understand what
the game is all about (not just in GR but in science in general).
And, instead of answerring questions, you're simply denying
their existence.
As expected from a relativistic moron.

I recommend you stop peppering every post with "poor idiot". It hurts
your case.

You don't understand how the game is played and your questions are
not even wrong. Sorry.

And stop peppering with "relativistic moron" too. Your arguments won't
become true by reciting a mantra.

No, poor idiot. It's MY field. Not yours. You don't understand how
the game is played. But it's obvious you don't like questions you'

So why do you post here? You enjoy your tragic act being called out
as dumb posturing?

I know it is, it's just that your field is not terribly relevant here.
You certainly post no content, just screams. Post content, so people can 
actually answer.

No, poor idiot, but I'm still enjoying a little your tragic act being

Once again. Will you agree at least, that science is information,

So I'll repeat them once again. Not much hope they will ever break
through your concrete skull, but not impossible.
Why aren't you using your idiotic standard of clocks at GPS?
Where are you going to use it, if not in places like GPS?
What's your measurement procedure of your piece-of-shit
metric?

Of course it's not saying anything to you. You are stupid

O. You noticed the question? Unbelievable.
I mean, of course, procedure of setting clocks.
What would I change to make them "proper in the
sense of relativistic moron"? I would leave
them uncorrected and unsynchronized, of course.
Now, will you answer?

Excuse my ESP powers being somewhat strained this week but here is
what you wrote: " Will you agree at least, that science is information,
and it is related to language somehow, or are you too stupid
even for that?"

Do you really think this has any non-trivial content? OK, fine, science
is information and it is related to language somehow. It's like saying
the art of Leonardo da Vinci is information and is related to pigments
somehow. Yes, both are true but this captures about 0.00001% of what's
involved here.

Bottom line is that you won't get anywhere at all with your insane quest
until you learn the subject you want to write critiques on. Until then
you are simply daydreaming.

Yes, it's hard to fish them out from your posts actually.

Would it kill you to state plainly what your objection is?
The clocks are set in a certain way. They read the numbers relativity
predicts the numbers should be. Why is this a problem?

So, what can you tell about structure of science as a piece
of information and about the mentioned relationship?
Nothing.
You know very little about science.

Not true.  Numbers read indicate - t'=t.
But real problem is: you have issued a standard. You're
pissing at your own standard. You are a bunch of morons.

Answer, why are you pissing at your own standard.
And where are you going to use it, if not in a
GPS-like places.

No, because there is no useful content in the statement "structure of
science as a piece of information". It's just hot air, like saying
"structure of van Gogh's art as pigment on canvas". It's true, correct,
and useless. BTW, your paste button seems to be stuck.

I'm dying of old age here. Post an actual argument. You won't get
anywhere by posting one sentence at a time.

What "different one"? If you think the clock on the orbit is "different"
than the one on Earth, then your definition of "different" is so, well, 
"different" from the universally accepted one that any discussion with
you is doomed from the start.

If you want people to understand you, you must define all exotic terms,
people are not clairvoyant. Two clocks identically made start to exhibit 
certain behaviour when one of them is sent to the orbit. Relativity
quantifies this effect. That's all. You can play definition games with
this setup, of course but you must state the rules if you want others
to join the discussion.

I'm not able to guess what's inside your head. You use common words
in idiosyncratic ways which makes communication pretty much impossible
as you never post anything complete, just one-liners and rants.
You also hurt your case by calling people you offend "stupid". I'm 100%
insensitive to such language through my years here so you can scream all
you want.

No, it is exactly about what you've been told and you refuse to 
understand. Those tensors maps the curvature into the flat representation.

This is infact what that GR "Field" equation is all about. Maps the curved 
_spacetime_ into a flat _spacetime_. I see you dont understand Relativity.

You talk like a kid. If you can "read" tensors "in a flash", you should
answer that 2D metric question quickly (ds^2 = dx^2/x^4 + dy^2).

        Obviously the over-active, nym-changing troll,
_IS_ a kid, not more than 12 or 13.


        With the mind of a retarded 3-year-old.

Cant remember the question, I just popped in. Heck, now you got support 
from the piano mover and implicitly from the theory of divergent matter.

The question was: consider the following metric tensor in the (x,y)-plane:

    ds^2 = dx^2/x^4 + dy^2

It's obviously singular at x = 0. What is the nature of this
singularity? Can one cross from, say, the point (1,0) to (-1,0) ?

Of course not, unless you allow y to be other than 0. Is there a point in 
this gymnastics?

Your answer is incorrect. So much for your "reading tensors in a flash".

LOL, the mathematician want to go through a singularity. Why am I not 
surprised.

This was your question, huh? However, in a model (in applied Physics) one 
will always exclude singularities, just to get the related necessary info.

I would suggest you to rephrase your question, or to give detailed and 
required info for why it should be otherwise.

Listen up, that equation is invalid for x=zero. LOL.

It's nature is - it is imagined.

Your imagination, your assumptions, whatever you say.
