Re: At the heart of the matter...
Ok, but it says the 3D world is not perceived via the eye but inferred by the brain.
That's a debatable topic for another thread. Until I know more about the topic, I'll admit that it's beyond my understanding and my argument may be unsubstantiated.

No. Rather, your arguments keeps on misapplying my position to your own 4D position which has four stacked dimensions, thus essentially applying my 3D model to a 2d model.
Question: Does 4D stack 4 dimensions parallel?

Re: More GR Obfuscation Of 3D Reality
Straggler writes:
Your 3D bar is straight in 3D. Nobody is disputing that. However in 4D curved spacetime it is necessarily curved.
1. But my model models reality of what is observed. My model has the three basic spatial dimensions. You are applying time as a non-spatial dimension, that is non-geometric. It has no geometric line and imperceivable geometrically. That's why it is not included in my model.
2. My argument, my position and my model are 3D. I am saying my model WILL NOT CURVE, no matter how far it is extended. YOU HAVE FINALLY ADMITTED HERE THAT THAT IS CORRECT.
3. As I understand it, what the 4th (time) dimension does to 3D when it is applied to space, i.e. spacetime, according to conventional science, is to allegedly (abe: cause curvature) to all three dimensions of 3D to become 2 parallel geometric spatial lines over time.
The bottom line which represents 2 dimensions, i.e. longitude and latitude, becomes one dimension since a line has one dimension. The top 1D line, altitude/height, having becoming allegedly bent, over time becomes parallel to the bottom 1D line by alleged curvature. So what the unreal thing 4D does by applying time is change the real 3D universe into a magical illusionary 2D of parallel dimensions capable of curvature, yet each line remaining straight as it curves.
4, The problem of adding the 4th dimension, time, to my 3D bar model and trying to argue that it's ends will join is that it is not a one dimensional line and it's three dimensions can never be magically parallel curvable one or two dimensional lines because unlike one dimensional lines, it's dimensions have a physical measurement, two of which never change when it is extended.
5. This is why conventional science MUST apply only one or two dimensional models such as geometric lines or 2D surfaces but that obfuscates my model.
That's what you people have been doggedly denying for five long pages now and you demean me for incomprehension!
The above appears to be the reason conventional science can't identify the alleged property of space capable of curvature other than geometric math etc. It's all illusional geometric lines.
ABE: Imo, the notion that space has alleged properties capable of being curved, as I've shown above is nothing but a concocted illusion to support the BBT. Imo, it doesn't even deserve the status of hypothesis since it has no legitimate model.

If you want to add another axes to your graph to represent time so that you can show the motion of the ball in 3 spatial dimensions plus time
Then you need four lines all at right angles with each other. This is a 4D graph. Hence the 4D maths.
3 + 1 = 4. It is that simple.
But I understand how adding the time dimension skews my 3D model position/argument in this thread by curving dimensions.
Nobody has refuted my explanation of how adding the time dimension to 1D line math/geometric models obfuscate and skew my real measurable 3D model. I've explained how geometric lines can be curve but my measurable 3D bar dimensions can not be curved.
Now you're ignoring the valid points made in my message and reverting right back to the mathematical 1D line models which is motion of a ball. The path of the ball is nothing but geometrics and numbers, which in time can be curved.
In your original setting regarding this, the path of the ball thrown was from one end of an uncurvable bar but your dimension argument relative to the dimensions of the path of the ball model had no application of the straight bar.

Biblical god Jehovah exists because Jehovah is god = curvature of space exists because space curves.
The question remains unanswered: What is the property of space which allows curvature of space?

Re: Models
Son Goku writes:
It is the curvature itself. Spacetime has curvature as a property.
The full on answer is that the concept of distance itself changes across the universe and it is this "change in the definition of distance" that causes curvature.
Thanks for weighing in here, Son Goku. Perhaps I need to recap my position.
I don't know whether you've read the thread so far, but I don't think it has been empirically established that aspects of forces, matter and energy can be properties of spaces. One of my counterparts in this debate (I believe it was PaulK) said that mass causes curvature of space.
I'm saying that the only property of space is existing unbounded infinite area in which all mass, energy and forces exists, leaving the only property of space as existing area in which all mass forces and energy exist. Were it not for what's in space, the universe would be an infinite existing perfect vacuum called space.
I'm also saying that time is not a property of space and that they are separate entities. Time relates to mass, energy and forces which exist in space and not to space perse.
I've shown that in a bona fide real 3D universe time or space have no property capable of curving my 3D measurable bar. The only way space can be shown to curve is in a 4D model of abstract geometric lines, time having the effect of 2D and 1D parallel dimensions which are curvable on paper or in the mind. As I've insisted, that's why 2d models are always used and my 3D not bended bar model is so despised as a model. There remains no property of space capable of curving the three dimensions of my model without bending one of it's dimensions and without changing it. If it is extended, all that time can do is allow it to extend to the extent that energy allows, all of it's three dimensions remaining uncurved and not bended.
What have I said above that is wrong?

You have found evidence of God, Buz. But you need not rely on something as complicated as space curvature.
It appears I need to clarify my analogy.
For space science to ascribe the existence of space curvature as factual to the claim that space does curve is equal to creationists ascribing the existence of Jehovah as supreme god to our claim that Jehovah is supreme god.
Both camps claim evidence exists. Savvy?

Re: Shape
If I gave that impression, I didn't mean to. If you read message 167 carefully it reiterates my space position. It has no properties of shape.
Perhaps the mass existing in the universe which is in space/area has a galaxy shape which may or may not factor in on the perception of curvature of the universe's aggregate mass. I don't think there's any way to know since we have no idea if what we can observe is a speck of the aggregate mass of the universe or if it is a significant portion of it.

No, it's not. There are currently 30 functional GPS satellites in orbit. As part of their function they must take space curvature into account if the system is going to tell anyone where they are. None of them need to take Jehovah into account. Their is a block of empirical evidence for the curvature of space making curvature a property of space as certain as donut holes.
You have not refuted the existence of holes in donuts.
1. Who said anything about Jehovah relative to anything to do with certain aspects of space? Read and think about why I said what I said.
2. I repeat: No property of space allows for anything to happen in the universe. All pertains to the mass, forces and energy existing in space which happens in the universe.
3. Likely there are significant forces, energy and even perhaps mass which are of dimensions yet undetectable by scientific methodology such as what we regard as supernatural or mystic.

The 10 year old has been programmed into the BB spacetime mindset, but guess what? Most 10 year olds can understand that the 3D bar's ends will not join regardless of how much time you give it and how long it gets. Why can't you?

No. Regardless of curvature or anything else remotely contentious a 4D model is required to describe 3 spatial dimensions plus time. This is basic counting. 4 co-ordinates. 4 axes. Most 10 year olds can grasp this. Why can you not?
Most 10 year olds can see that your four dimensions are not co-ordinates. Three are spatial and time is not. You're trying to co-ordinate a not spatial dimension into my model so as to obfuscate it. It does not co-ordinate. The way you do this is to take your pencil and rig up a geometric model of one and two dimensions which is not reality, as I've been arguing all these pages. Why can't you see that?
3. As I understand it, what the 4th (time) dimension does to 3D when it is applied to space, i.e. spacetime, according to conventional science, is to allegedly (abe: cause curvature) to all three dimensions of 3D to become 2 parallel geometric spatial lines over time.

There is no magic. There is empirical evidence. And there is the ability to count. Again - There is no point discussing curvature until you can grasp why it is that a 4D model is essential.

4 co-ordinates. 4 axes. 4 dimensional model. Counting Buz, just simple one two three four counting.
You're spinning round and round, Straggler. You ignore the fact that my model has three spatial dimensions just as does the universe. Your model tries to add a 4th non-spatial and non-coordinate which does not model the spatial dimensions of the universe.
That's what you people have been doggedly denying for five long pages now and you demean me for incomprehension!
My 10 year old nephew has never heard of GR, spacetime curvature or gravitational lensing. He has never considered the complexities of the GPS system and clocks progressing at different rates. He has certainly never thought about curved "straight" bars. I daresay he would agree with your commonsense conclusion regarding the bar meeting at the ends.
Sure. I'm not at all surprised. You've programmed into his young impressionable mind what to think.
