: Apparently he had read some GR material,

: Lorentzian geometry, it was not related to C, but
: rather emitted C somehow. He was rather adamant
: that "it is not logically possible to base GR upon SR".

: As a matter of fact, the very first postulate of
: GR is that the universal Reimannian manifold M is
: locally Minkowskian. In other words, the very starting
: point of GR (once the selection of mathematical
: tools is out of the way) is that SR holds at every
: given point in space and time. This postulate is
: how the "c" gets into GR, it doesn't just appear as
: a magical constant of space and time. GR is totally
: based upon SR. (And that's why the GR experts
: who add a second helping of SR into
: Satellite Synchronization calculations to make
: the calculations come out better, are
: obviously into cheating.)

: See / for
: this old thread. Tom Roberts did not respond
: to my comments and did not point out any
: flaws in my reasoning. But neither did I ever
: see any open retraction of his earlier understanding.
:
: That's not how I would have behaved, so I must
: admit that this gave me the idea we were not in
: the same intellectual integrity category. When
: my first attempt at explaining photo-electricity
: using my theory turned out to be wrong, I immediately
: and openly admitted to being wrong about it.
: (And _therefore_ was able to arrive at the correct
: explanation in short order, rather than clinging to,
: and cringingly continuing to defend my earlier
: incorrect explanation.)
:
: Of course, in the intellectual integrity category,
: we both are head and shoulders above those
: who can merely display their ignorance by
: depending upon nothing but rude comments!

GR come fron SR and SR comes from :

'we establish by definition that the "time" required by
light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires
to travel from B to A' because I SAY SO and you have to
agree because I'm the great genius, STOOOPID, don't you
dare question it. -- Rabbi Albert Einstein
