Viewing profile — untoxicness

The best understanding of matter is in the form of quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is always formulated with some background metric (geometry) of spacetime as an input. One idea is…

There are other forms of coercion than bribery.

You are right, there is no difference. As a matter of fact, many physicists work with a signature of (+,-,-,-) to describe the spacetime of our universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/w…

Another book by Greg Egan exploring different metrics of spacetime is Dichronauts. In Orthogonal the metric signature explored is (+,+,+,+). In Dicronauts the metric signature expl…
