Earlier quoted context omitted.

I just checked on wikipedia what time cube is. - You are right, my theses would be more fun (and more successful) when I could be more relaxed and dada - I'm indeed grimly..

It wasn't a compliment.

Don't feed the trolls, they'll only come back for more.

I admire the general theory of relativity, the theory of gravitation and the field equations. Einstein proofed this way equality of inertial and gravitational mass, in my view his biggest merit. - But I can't understand why still today physicists allow to mess the beauty of the field equations by applying it to the universe as a whole. - It's wrong to apply the field equations cosmologically, as I have shown here: ht…

Wow, it's like timecube for a new generation.

Come on!

Not nearly as many font faces and colors.

Give the guy some credit.

When I took the basic physics sequence at MIT 40 years ago Special Relativity was a first semester elective and General Relativity in the seventh semester. You can derive much of SR with high school algebra and additional integration. But the GR field equations were rather hairy.
