"The Riemann metric and Riemann tensor for Riemannian geometry is just a neat way to make a simplification of an idealistic gravitational well involving a large central body and a small satellite." All relativity geometries are merely diagrammatic representations of the math. "Now, "momentum", is not necessarily what people think it is, since in kinematics it results _exchange_, so, momentum in this sense is "conserved in the open", while, as Einstein says, "it's an inertial system" not "it's a system of momentum"." Right, so it's math divorced from physical causation. The problem arises when it is imagined that relativity ever explains anything about causation. It only pretends to. "I wouldn't say that the reviewed authors "disproved" general relativity then - though they did raise many relevant points with regards to what's either over- or under-defined in the usual formalisms establishing the classical connection, that's about it." Yes, they have their own relativity theory, so their disproof is incomplete. I don't think there is anything to retain about relativity. It seems to me to be vacuous nonsense. p. 8 "Einstein wrote (1949): 'There is a special type of space whose physical structure (field) can be presumed to be precisely known on the basis of the special theory of relativity. This is an empty space without electromagnetic field and without matter. It is completely determined by its metric property:'" Here, Einstein thinks that space can have a structure rather than contain a structure, so he is plainly guilty of the reification fallacy. Space contains fields, or it could include structures, but it cannot itself have a structure. He elaborates that he is speaking of space itself having a structure since he describes it as "empty," proving that he has unambiguously committed the reification fallacy. This is very unintelligent. This also involves a pretense of explaining causation.
