#586399 — Re: Ripples in spacetime do exist but spacetime itself doesn't

spacetime is just a word einstein made up to differentiate himself from
everyone else.

People even haven't figured out how to spel it yet...is it space time,
space-time, or spacetime?


Relativity is just another word for perspective.


Energy in E=Mc2 is just another word for RAIDATION.


Atomic Bomb is actually Nuclear Bomb....but they changed it at the last
minute to atomic bomb.



There was no "atomic age", ...it was the Nuclear Age. Nuclear Bombs age.


What other werds did Einstein changed around?


The title of his book should have been called: The Theory of
Perspective. Then The Theory of General Perspective.


What is your general perpective of things...from your perspective? What
time is it now from your perspective??

they are not in a dead alley.)
