Einstein disagreed.



Really?

So then he didn't acknowledge that the "gravitational ether" existed?

He didn't acknowledge that space is bent like a mattress by a
bowling ball, and subject to the forces of gravity?

You are claiming lines of space (ether) penetrate through the earth
as perfectly straight lines?

Let's see the sources which cause you to reach that/those
conclusion(s?)

Wow. Two words and you misread it. I stand in awe.

Einstein was quite clear that space was a non-Euclidian
construct. That, in fact, it was quite flexible, and that there were
no straight lines. And that it was finite.

That would mean there are no straight lines anywhere...if you think about it.

Right.

Oh, I'd say you can still create perfectly straight lines, however, NOT
with any device which measures "straight", which exists in the same
universe ... or, simply put, a perfectly straight line would appear
curved to us ...

I have an old Saturday Evening Post magazine (that magazine is in my
attic now, along with buku more magazines and books and junk) all about
when JFK was murdered in Dallas.I forget the exact date of that
magazine, I will look at it tomorrow when I go back up in my attic.Yep,
I bought that magazine at the Goodwill store a bunch of years ago.

Draw a line (straight or crooked line) on a piece of paper.That line is
3 Dimensional.

Something to do while waiting for the discounts to be marked on the

Since there is nowhere free from both matter and energy,
there aren't.

Exactly, whereas everything is in orbit around something, or being
converted and/or reflected by something. Unless pi works out to an
even prime number, there's no such thing as a straight line.

The fact that the universe is three-dimensional already makes it
possible to have an infinite number of straight lines, and in seemingly
infinite directions.

The fact that the ethers' smallest particles seems to make atoms
enormous, in comparison, would suggest a very fine detail can be
ascribed to these lines ...
