I said "SUBSTITUTE" r+K for r, Tricycle.


No, you can say “SUBSTITUTE” (r + K) for R. shrug

In that case, the two said geometries of spacetime a

** ds1^2 = c^2 (1 – K / r) dt^2 – dr^2 / (1 – K / r) – r^2 dO^2

** ds2^2 = c^2 (1 – K / R) dt^2 – dR^2 / (1 – K / R) – R^2 dO^2

In that case, they are still very different where (R = r + K).

It sounds like you have not
passed grade school mathematics. shrug


You couldn't pass grammar Pearl Diver, never mind math.


Even my pre-kindergarten kids know R is not the same as r. Either my
kids are geniuses or you are extra-ordinarily mentally challenged.
