Have you studied differential geometry?

As far as we currently can observe, the geometric interpretation can't be really verified. It is simply a logical consequence of the principle of equivalence. Actually, gravity can be viewed as a curvature of space-time and not necessarily of space. Observing the lare scale geometry of the universe it might, however, prove to have a global topology that isn't possible for a flat space.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
