I think we can agree on that you have answered the question that I asked in
this subthread *in a way* twice as you have posted *a possible, correct*
metric for Minkowski spacetime.

I had previously been unaware that

  c dt = d(ct)

holds for constants c and differentials dt [1], so that

   ds² = c² dt²     − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (c dt)²    − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (d(ct))²   − dx²        − dy²        − dz²
       = (dx⁰)²     − (dx¹)²     − (dx²)²     − (dx³)²          (x⁰ := ct)
       = g₀₀ (dx⁰)² + g₁₁ (dx¹)² + g₂₂ (dx²)² + g₃₃ (dx³)²

with

         (1   0   0   0)
  g_µν = (0  −1   0   0) = diag(+1,−1,−1,−1)
         (0   0  −1   0)
         (0   0   0  −1)

which is probably what you mean.  It then happens that the metric (tensor) g
is identical to the signature of the space when written as diagonal
matrix/tensor η, whereas both are generally related by the identity

  g_αβ ≡ ∂ξ^α∕∂x^µ ∂ξ^β∕∂x^ν η_αβ

(see also: <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MetricTensor.html>).

However, you have _not_ answered my *other* question regarding the form of
ds² in Einstein summation convention then, which is why I had to figure that
out for myself:

  ds² = g_µν dx^µ dx^ν = c² dt² − dx² − dy² − dz²

still holds with your metric g and definition of x⁰, as can be seen above.

Had you been more forthcoming and less name-calling, we could have resolved
this earlier.

I maintain, however, that the metric that I posted also is standard notation
and not in any way wrong, and I have to reiterate that with natural units
where c = 1 (which is common in relativistic physics), our metrics are
identical.

> fleebrain, but you didn't answer mine. […]

And do you think that your insults will effect that I consider your red
herring, or reading further postings from you at all?

So much for “logical responses”.
