You're funny. You simlpy repeated over and over again the same thing that you are wrong about. You shouldn't be so quick to have faith in the things in you want to understand. You twist words into meanings they are not supposed or do not absolutely mean. Anthropomorphising my Language Removed, you know what I meant. All of science is an approximation to reality. General relativity in an absolute way can not explain gravity. It does not say why we have gravity but instead describes its effects which can be interpreted through non-Euclidean geometry, and only in that way does it "explain" the mechanics of gravity. Maybe we are trying to argue different things, but when I say "explain" I mean being able to give the fundamental cause or reason. Since General relativity does not do this (because it is not a modern theory), it is in an absolute way incomplete, and hence in an absolute way can not explain anything, but can only describe things. |
