Roger,
I know Brian Greene personally and have read his book, Fabric of the Cosmos.
He was a postdoc at my school. He is not a founder of string theory,
Max Green is.
His view of space is quite conventional except for the extra
dimensions o

I'm saying that it is beyond empty. It is only the inferred distance
between which objects defin

According to Einstein it takes massive objects to warp spacetime.
No, that's wrong. Mass-energy warps spacetime, but the Einstein equations have non-flat
solutions with a zero stress-energy tensor. DeSitter showed this shortly after Eistei

Sure it can. What is mass? A relation between objects. Relativity shows us
nothing if not that. Ear
Brent,
According to Einstein it takes massive objects to warp spacetime.
Therefore a warped spacetime cannot be empty.
The apparently flat spacetime that exists
is due to dark energy, dark matter and visible matter.
Although flat, it is hardly considered to be empty.

Why not? Spacetime is just the set of relations, i.e. intervals, between events. If those
intervals satisfy the Minkowski metric the spacetime is flat. If they don't the spacetime
is warped.

I agree with Roger on this one (except for the insults). I did not know
that Einstein recognized that spacetime was a true void - I had assumed
that his conception of gravitational warping of spacetime was a literal
plenum or manifold, but if it's true that he recognized spacetime as an

Hi Richard Ruquist
Here you go again. Monads are basically ideas.
The BECs are physical. No physical connection is possible
between ideas and things.
