Why weren't there lynchings in New England of white lynch mobs lynchings white people?

Even though you haven't read Our Mathematical Universe, you could still read posts #1, #2, and #9 on this thread and tell me if it is consistent with your knowledge of physics.

@berkeman @jefferywinkler3 @Ibix What do you think about Demystifier's post #5 on this thread? Do you agree with @Demystifier ?

That is mighty interesting and informative. What do the letters GR mean in "standard GR cosmology"?
