Understanding the Relationship Between Mass and Space-Time

[oseriph]

My first time on the forum I got, in effect a warning. I said space-time was an attribute of matter. I'm sure I posted it incorrectly. I wanted to start a thread based on the assertion that mass is to space-time, as viscosity is to surface tension. I've read the rules, but I'm still unclear. any help would be appreciated.(this is my second visit)

Did you try to send a private message to the mentor who gave you the warning? He/she would be happy to tell you what the issue is, I'm sure.

One wrote "Space being a measurement of matter against itself, and time being a measurement of matter against space," but this is not correct.

The assertion that "mass is to space-time, as viscosity is to surface tension" is not mainstream, and one has not provided a basis for this assertion.

The forums are for discussion mainstream physics. Alternative theories may be presented in the Independent Research forum, however they are subject to restrictions. One must present background material, demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental physics, and cite articles from mainstream, peer-reviewed journals in support of one's theory - and one's theory must fill some holes and/or complement mainstream physics.

The problem is that you started by making an assertion. You would have been fine if you had asked if this is a proper analogy, instead of making an assertion.

I see. Thanks

 

[oseriph]

your right. I get it. thanks for responding

I think some of the work on quantum foam may support the idea. guess I have some research to do
