[quote:Anonymous Coward 74198936:MV80ODM5MDAzXzg4MzM2NzgzX0UxRTlFN0VC] [quote:ZOOM OUT:MV80ODM5MDAzXzg4MzM2NTY4X0VCM0NDNzgz] Mass is the presence of matter. Space (incorrectly termed by those who thought space was free of matter) is actually full of matter in the form of plasma, not a privation. If there is very little of it, it is not visible but it is still there. Therefore space and time are both outdated concepts. But the fact that they are concepts gives them the ability to be merged and measured with and without the presence of matter. Whether or not we are able to measure them accurately is of no importance. [/quote] I'm really surprised to see a comment with this much knowledge on the subject on GLP. I can tell you have put some serious time into this subject. [/quote]

Has a greater load of steaming horse-shit EVAH been foisted off on Humanity?
"Space" is a privation - a lack of matter.
"Time" is a CONCEPT.
How can a privation be melded with a concept, and then be somehow "curved" by the presence of "Mass" (whatever that is - we still have no idea)?
Oh, wait! The fucking MATH works out, so we're good!
