We then enter into a complete misunderstanding of the real structure of space-time,

Space time is an abstract, it doesn't have any real structure.
One hundred and twenty years after Henri Poincar|-'s article, reading what is
written today, we see that the problem of simultaneity hasn't progressed an inch.
It would seem, sadly, that everyone continues to conceive of a universe as a rigid, flat Minkowski block, only posing "a few problems" if there are relative
movements at high speed.
Then we talk about time dilation.
We then give some equations (some of which are wrong), and we don't explain anything at all.
Albert Einstein did a great deal of harm to humanity by diverting Poincar|-'s
theory rather than advancing it further.
Certainly, his story about clock hands being set to a certain position at point
A to record events at A, and those at B to record events at B is true. But it is
completely ridiculous, because we are saying that a swallow is a swallow.
The problem is the synchronization, not of events occurring near the clock, which we don't care about, since a swallow is a swallow, but of knowing what is
happening elsewhere, and what the actual time is there; that is, whether the concept of the present moment is something flat, which he seems to assume without
thinking. We see this very clearly when he assumes that the speed of light is
constant (that is, the wave of the present moment) whether light (that is, information) is moving away or approaching.
We then enter into a complete misunderstanding of the real structure of space-time, and we synchronize all the clocks not with each other, but with an
abstract entity placed in a virtual spatial dimension, at an equal distance from
all the 3D points of the universe we are studying. It then becomes completely
impossible to conceive of what spacetime truly is, or its unique characteristics
for each observer; and the most fundamental truths about it become so perplexing
that when they are stated, they often elicit laughter.

But it has a structure, hasn't it?
z^2 - t^4 is a mathematical structure based on a bi-linear form.
So, according to you, this structure is not "real".
What would be a "real" structure then Maciej?

Yes.
Structure of abstracts is imaginary, just like

Well! So the Pythagorean's theorem is also abstract, imaginary, unreal, right?

Well. But if I actually use this theorem in order to create a flower bed

The quality of Riemannian geometry and Einstein's GR is excellent.

Most people don't understand...
Space is eternal. It has no beginning, it has no end.
It's timeless.
The big bang resulted in a 'beginning' and a 'end'.
You live in between.
The universe has actually no time, because time is a LOCAL measure.
Your local time will always point into the future, but only into your
LOCAL future!
Other observers in other locations have a local future, too, but that
can actually be your past.
But we bring structure to spacetime, if we are somewhere within spacetime.
This means:
you can go where ever you like, but you are always somewhere and observe
the world from there.
This would serve as kind of 'cut', since some aspects of spacetime
appear as stable and some don't.
Those 'stable patterns' are what we call 'matter', while the moving
aspects are, what we call 'radiation'.
The nasty part:
this distinction is not the same, if we move to somewhere else.
So: matter could be recognized as radiation, if you watch from a
different perspective (or vice versa).
In effect we could enter an entirely different 'universe' if we could
fly to a distant position far enough away.

Not, because the distance between Moon and Earth is real valued.
If you turn the axis of time upside down, this would be an 'imaginary rotation'.
This would be a valid timeline, too, but in world, which is made from anti-matter.
Such an 'anti-world' would be perfectly normal, though only for anti-
beings living there.
But we couldn't go there, because contact to anti-matter would make us detonate instantly.

The best example is the photoelectric effect.
In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.
This movement is defined as an angle in the 'spacetime' picture.
Once the electron is free from the atom, the relevant angle gets 45-#,
which stands for c.
If the photon is stopped by a metal plate, light ('radiation') becomes charge again.
In effect we could enter an entirely different 'universe' if we could
fly to a distant position far enough away.
How far away is this other universe?
The term 'far' isn't appropriate, because angles in spacetime are
assumed to be complex rotations.
Matter was in my model 'timelike stable patterns', hence with other timelines also other matter should show up.This is for sure meaningless nonsense.
(In case of 'backwards time' I would expect 'anti-matter'.)

It's callled 'time dialation'.
But to understand time dialation you have to understand WHEN it
occurs.
It doesn't occur at the same place, at the same time ...everywhere.
Just as, there is no such thing as a 'theory of everything', because >everything is NOT...everything.
Is the Earth the same...everywhere????

Everything is not everything.

But the position of the observer holding the Geiger counter
is irrelevant, beta radiation is radiation of matter whether

In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.
When a photon hits a material, an electron may be ejected if
the photon energy exceeds the electron's binding energy.
But a photon and an electron are not the same thing, and
a photon doesn't become electrons when they are stopped.
From whence do you get these ridiculous ideas? :-D

So if my local future were your local past, then the world

No, you would.
Since you are not trying to defend your statement:
"Other observers in other locations have a local future,
too, but that can actually be your past."
. . you must have realised that it is meaningless nonsense.
BTW, you have still not responded to the following:
Does that mean that you have understood Einstein's
definition of simultaneity?
Or are you unable to read and understand it?
Please read it, and if you find a logical error in
Einst5ein's derivation, please point it out.

| "Let a ray of light start at the oA timeo tA from A towards B,

tA is the time shown by the clock at A when the ray leave A.
tB is the time shown by the clock at B when the ray hits B.
t'A is the time shown by the clock at A when the reflected
ray hits A.
In a thought experiment measurements can be made with
infinite precision, and we can sit at our desks and analyse it.
The transit time is d/c where d is the distance between A and B.
Let clock B be F ahead of clock A, where F is between 0 and
a long time.
We then have: tB = tA + d/c + F
and: t'A = tB + d/c - F
so: (tB - tA) = d/c + F
(t'A - tB) = d/c - F
If (tB - tA) = (t'A - tB) then (d/c + F) = (d/c - F),
which is true only if F = 0,
the clocks simultaneously show the same.
This means:
TB = (TA + d/c)
When clock B shows TB clock A simultaneously
shows (TA + d/c), which is the same.
t'A = (tB + d/c)
When clock A shows t'A clock B simultaneously
shows (tB + d/c), which is the same.
Thus:
In accordance with definition the two clocks are synchronous if
tB ? tA = t?A ? tB.
This is a logical consequence of the postulates of SR
and that the speed of light is isotropic.
Einstein's definition of simultaneity is mathematically
consistent.
This doesn't say anything about whether or not SR's
predictions are in accordance with measurements.
Only real experiments can do that.

If the notion of simultaneity is relative (I'm not talking about
chronotropy; everyone has accepted the idea that it is relative to the observers' speed of movement), I'm just talking about the notion of relativity of simultaneity by positional change (I am here, you are over there).

But we bring structure to spacetime, if we are somewhere within
spacetime.
This means:
you can go where ever you like, but you are always somewhere and
observe the world from there.
This would serve as kind of 'cut', since some aspects of spacetime
appear as stable and some don't.
Those 'stable patterns' are what we call 'matter', while the moving >>>>> aspects are, what we call 'radiation'.
The nasty part:
this distinction is not the same, if we move to somewhere else.
So: matter could be recognized as radiation, if you watch from a
different perspective (or vice versa).
Can you give a concrete example where an observer recognises
'something' as matter and not as radiation and you, somewhere else,
recognise the same 'something' as radiation and not as matter?
The best example is the photoelectric effect.
So one observer will recognises the ejected electrons as matter
and not as radiation and you, somewhere else, will recognise
the ejected as radiation and not as matter?
This is of course mindless babble.
I had the idea, that what we call 'matter' are actually 'timelike stable patterns'.
So: since electrons are material objects, they need to be timelike stable.
But how do electrons look like if they are not stable?
Well, they would match the description of a photon.
As empirical observation, which supports this claim I would use the 'photoelectric effect'. This effect means, that if you shine light upon
a metal plate, it will become charged.
That's why I think, that photons become electrons, if photons are
stopped by a metal sheet.
This 'become stopped' is a geometric relation in spacetime, because time
in a spacetime diagram is an axis.
If a certain structure moves as radiation, it has an (complex) angle of
45-# towards the timeline.
If it gets stopped, the angle is zero.
Now both are king of 'helical screws', but the electron is 'the helix squeezed flat' and circles horizontally (if the axis of time is placed vertical).
In this case the electron and the photon are actually the same thing,
while photons move and become 'electric' once the photon gets stopped.
When a photon hits a material, an electron may be ejected if
the photon energy exceeds the electron's binding energy.
That's what YOU think, not me.
But a photon and an electron are not the same thing, and
a photon doesn't become electrons when they are stopped.
Well, possibly I'm wrong, but the photoelectric effect says something else.
-aFrom whence do you get these ridiculous ideas? :-D
Actually I wanted to connect QM and GR by a relatively simple method.
I took spacetime of GR as real phyical entity and wanted to build the
items of QM from spacetime.
So matter had to be 'timelike stable' and 'relative'.
This means, that matter is only matter for some class of observers,
which share what I call a certain 'time domaine'.
Others time domaines are possible and a change would alter the direction
of the axis of time.
(This could go as far as towards the opposite direction.)
This axis of time defines a certain context, where matter needs to be
stable to be actually matter.
Then matter from other time domains is invisible or would be perceived
as radiation.

Consider the following scenario:
Given an Euclidean space where the axes are called x, y and z.
A is a point at x = 0, y = 0 and z = 0.
B is a point at x = L, y = 0 and z = 0.
Clock Ca is placed at A and another, equal clock Cb is at B.
The two clocks simultaneously show the same; they are synchronous.
An object is moving at constant speed from A to B.
When the object is at A clock Ca shows t = ta.
When the object is at B clock Cb shows t = tb.
The time the object used to travel from A to B is +ot = tb - ta.
The object was moving at the speed v = L/+ot = L/(tb - ta).
Note that the above is equally true according Newtonian Mechanics(NM)
and according to The Special Theory of Relativity (SR).

this is so because Euclidean space is meant as 'timeless'.
Why does the fact that there is no 'time' in the metric
ds-# = dx-# + dY-# + dz-# imply that the time +ot is 'absolute'?
or:
d-a = reU(1 reA v-#/c-#)dt (3)
where v-# = (dx/dt)-# + (dy/dt)-# + (dz/dt)-#

Yes.
It's relativistic.
But the problem is that it confuses everything, and it leads to nonsense
if you take it a step too far.
For example, Albert Einstein, who is considered a god, was unable to understand the difference between the relativity of chronotropy
and the relativity of durations, which is what Dr. Richard Hachel, who
is considered a crank, does.
It's the history of humanity in real life.
Let's take Langevin's traveler as an example; Hachel is very precise
about the terms. On the traveler's return, for example, his chronotropy beats slower than that of the terrestrial traveler (as on the outward journey), but his watch nevertheless runs faster.

One hundred and twenty years after Henri Poincar|-'s article, reading
what is written today, we see that the problem of simultaneity hasn't progressed an inch.
It would seem, sadly, that everyone continues to conceive of a universe
as a rigid, flat Minkowski block, only posing "a few problems" if there
are relative movements at high speed.
Then we talk about time dilation.
We then give some equations (some of which are wrong), and we don't
explain anything at all.
Albert Einstein did a great deal of harm to humanity by diverting Poincar|-'s theory rather than advancing it further.
Certainly, his story about clock hands being set to a certain position
at point A to record events at A, and those at B to record events at B
is true. But it is completely ridiculous, because we are saying that a swallow is a swallow.
The problem is the synchronization, not of events occurring near the
clock, which we don't care about, since a swallow is a swallow, but of knowing what is happening elsewhere, and what the actual time is there;
that is, whether the concept of the present moment is something flat,
which he seems to assume without thinking. We see this very clearly when
he assumes that the speed of light is constant (that is, the wave of the present moment) whether light (that is, information) is moving away or approaching.
We then enter into a complete misunderstanding of the real structure of space-time, and we synchronize all the clocks not with each other, but
with an abstract entity placed in a virtual spatial dimension, at an
equal distance from all the 3D points of the universe we are studying.
It then becomes completely impossible to conceive of what spacetime
truly is, or its unique characteristics for each observer; and the most fundamental truths about it become so perplexing that when they are
stated, they often elicit laughter.

they're actually the ultimate calibration tools for both distance and
time units), and how they behave relativistically in accordance to their reciprocal state of motion, you'll be aware to have acquired an

Of course it is.
In NM the ?t is 'absolute' in the sense that it is independent
of frames of reference.
So what about SR?
The metric below defines SR. So what can be deduced from this
metric is what SR predicts. This is indisputable.
(c?d?)# = (c?dt)# ? dx# ? dy# ? dz# (1)
or:
d?# = (1 ? (1/c#)?[(dx/dt)# + (dy/dt)# + (dz/dt)#])dt# (2)
or:
d? = ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt (3)
where v# = (dx/dt)# + (dy/dt)# + (dz/dt)#
(1), (2) and (3) are the same metric.
Let's calculate the proper time of a clock that is moving from
the event E1: t = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
to the Event E2: t = ?t, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0
According to (3): v = 0
? = ?(from t=0 to t=?t)dt = ?t
But what would it be in the frame of reference K' (t',x',z') ?
Note that the metric (1) is true for any frame of reference
So:
(c?d?)# = (c?dt')# ?dx'# ?dy'# ?dz'#
and:
(c?d?)# = (c?dt)# ?dx# ?dy# ?dz# = (c?dt')# ?dx'# ?dy'# ?dz'#
note:
this does _not_ mean that t = t', x = x', y = y' and z = z'
Let the origin of K' move along the positive x-axis of K
with the speed v.
The events E1 and E2 will then have the coordinates in K':
E1: t' = 0, x' = 0, y' = 0, z' = 0
E2: t' = ?t', x' = v?t', y' = 0, z' = 0
Note that v = dx'/dt' and v# = (dx'/dt')#
So according to (3):
d? = ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt'
? = ?(from t'=0 to t'= ?t') ?(1 ? v#/c#)dt' = ?(1 ? v#/c#)?t'
The proper time between two events is invariant
so: ? = ?t = ?(1 ? v#/c#)?t'
The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is ?t in K
The temporal interval between E1 and E2 is ?t/?(1 ? v#/c#) in K'
The temporal intervals between the same two events are
different in K and K'.
Temporal intervals between events are not absolute,
they are frame dependent.
(Note that ?t and ?t' are _not_ proper times.)
If I left my home at-a-a t1 = October 13, 2025, 7:05:10 CET
and arrived at work at t2 = October 13, 2025, 7:59:50 CET
Then I can say that the 'time' I used to walk to work today
was 54 minutes and 40 seconds.-a (+ot = t2 - t1)
That's a duration (or 'interval').
So "time" can be both 'a point in time' and a duration.

This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in space.
But time does not define a position in space.
Actually time values do not define 'positions' in time , neither.
The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a
zero point in time and can't do that.
Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that,
but is most likely wrong.
Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book
of Genesis 'scientific', but it's also quite illogic.
Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain
beginning, but a visible subset is.
The 'real universe' is mainly invisible, hence we cannot know, whether
or not it had a beginning.
At leat we cannot measure the beginning and that would make the use of
such a startig point in time next to impossible.

It is common to call these four entities coordinates.
So we have four coordinates, one temporal, three spatial.
(temporal = related to time, spatial = related to space)
But the spatial coordinate system, and the time coordinate
must be defined, they are not given by nature.
I choose to use the Earth fixed Geographic coordinate system,
so the spatial coordinates are latitude (lat), longitude (long)
and altitude (alt)
I choose to use the Gregorian calendar and UTC for the time coordinate.
So the coordinates of my finger snap are:
t = 2025-10-15, 09:52:31 UTC
lat = 58? 19' 41"
long = 8? 34' 06"

We are however free to use other temporal and spatial coordinates.
But they must be precisely defined.

Common Language it is used for many different meanings. When clearer
expression is desired different words should be used for different
meanings. Often, and in particular for discussing physics, it is
best to restrict the meaning of "time" when used as a nout to
expressions that can be used as an answer to the questions that ask
when someting happens, i.e., values of a time coordinate of an event.
The word "duration" can be used for difference of two times. But even
in physics discussions it is usually assumed that the participants can
understand from context which of the multiple meanings of "time" is
used.
To treat time as a coordinate is-a a VERY bad idea!
This is so, because with 'coordinates' we usually mean positions in
space.
By "coordinates" we usually mean a tuple of (usually continuous) functions from elements of a some spece (the physical space or spacetime or some abstract mathematical space) or a part of one with the property that
the tuple of the values of those functions for one point identifies the point.
I would use other words, but actually had the same impression of
Einstein's text.
I meant that time is always an interval, while Einstein thought about
time as linear and countable.
But usually we use some starting point as reference, while often that
isn't mentioned.
What makes no sense, that are terms like 'bestimmte |ara' (certain
era), because eras are not numbered.
Also this concept of 'linear time' (embedded in 'big-bang theory') is
most likely wrong.
Einstein also used 'external time', which is similar to Newtons
'absolute time', while didn't use Poincare's 'local time'.

Actually time values do not define 'positions' in time , neither.
The problem with your assumption is, that you would need to define a
zero point in time and can't do that.
Actually the so called 'big-bang-theory' was meant to provide just that,
but is most likely wrong.
Not only did it come from a catholic priest, who wanted to make 1. book
of Genesis 'scientific', but it's also quite illogic.
Therefore, the (real) universe is not expanding from a certain
beginning, but a visible subset is.
The 'real universe' is mainly invisible, hence we cannot know, whether
or not it had a beginning.
At leat we cannot measure the beginning and that would make the use of
such a startig point in time next to impossible.

Since I'm the only expert on earth regarding Before the big bang...
the "starting point" can easily be measured.
The stars are the measuring points in space.
Each star is a point in space.
You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were
around since the beginning of the big bang, (and before).
How do you measure the starting point? You need to
reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).

This is a event.
An event happens at one point in time, and one point in space.
An event doesn't move in space or time.

You can start with the big dipper and the little dipper which were

I would regard the so called 'big-bang' as a 'white hole'.
A 'white hole' is kind of 'back-side' of a black hole.
Since the white side follows the black-hole-side in time, we could say:
the 'big-bang' is the temporal future of the 'big crunch'.
Now: this 'temporal order' is not THE order, but only one possible >(temporal) order (out of many).
This means, that 'big bang' is actually 'relative' and dependent on our
own axis of time.
From this would follow, that we cannot even regard 'big bang' as an
absolute anchor in time, because every possible universe would have an
own 'big bang' which all are different.
How do you measure the starting point? You need to
reverse einginneer all the points in the sky (space).
Sure, but we cann't, because we can only see into our own past-light-cone.
