Well it's like the desktop site but everything is set to large size instead of small. So the icons, the text boxes, the menu, everything is large and cramped together. I've visited this site on occasion in the past, the old desktop site was a lot better, and that was on an iPhone 5S, I'm...

It looks the same but lots of the icons and fonts are large even though I have my phone display set to smallest. For example when you write the title of a threat the font is very large, where as the text inside the text box is small, so you can only write two of three words without being able to...

It's just the same. :( maybe this is the desktop site then.

^ A bit like how you sit on a cushion, and the more you sit on the cushion the more it sags, and in order to restore it you have to put energy into it to plump it up and make it nice again and comfortable to sit on. Like mass is constantly sitting on the cushion and dark energy is constantly...

No it's cool I understand the 4D nature of sapce-time, SR is super intereating and sapce-time diagrams are particularly cool, I just didn't factor in time as a GR component of my OP which I probably should have done. As much as I understand time in SR, and how gravity effects time in GR, my...

Is this a man or a woman? Not baby from my experience, but perhaps babe? "You alright babe?" That's a common, respectful and open way to talk to a female friend, or for females to talk to each other, a slightly more modern and causal name than darling. For someone to say "hey baby!" who...

So I have no mathematics skills what so ever, so I need a partner. I do the thinking, you do the maths, and I get the Nobel Prize. Deal? ;D Edit: No seriously, are there ever working relationships where someone who is purely a thinker collaborates with mathematicians and makes significant...

OK I get you. So when we say that pockets of mass aren't important, does that also include dark matter and dark energy? We're speaking specifically about measuring the flatness of the universe here, correct? Sorry if this is getting a little confusing, just trying to get a better understanding...

Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by averaging out the pockets and divots of mass? I understand the concept with your bowl of water analogy. Does that mean you ignore them in the calculations? Or have you had to take them into account in some form?

Hi everyone my name's Robert! I'm a prolific thinker and philosophiser, with an intrinsic interest in understanding the world we live in. To me that involves both philosophical and scientific concepts. The benefit to philosophy is that you don't need mathematics or physics to present good ideas...

Do you by any chance have a link to the desktop site? I really don't like the mobile layout. :(

So, this is a bit of an odd question, but something I was curious about. I recently learned in layman's terms that the universe is considered flat because of how we measure triangles in 3D space, in particular the CMB. I've also learned that the cosmological constant that was derived from GR...
