Dialectical Materialism vs. "The New Physics"

by Mike Gimbel

Physics is now being burdened with a quack theory that “space” is somehow “curved”. How can space be curved? Since space is just the domain where matter moves through and time is just the distance moved by matter in motion in relation to other matter in motion in the domain called space, then how could space be curved? Space would have to be some sort of a higher level material object, composed of matter at this lower level, and impinged upon by the matter outside of “space” which is forcing “space” into this “curved” form! Space, in that case, would itself be matter in motion and the curving of “space”, in that case, would be a purely surface effect. How would the “curving” of “space”, in that instance, cause the matter inside of that “space” to “curve”? If that internal “space” were some sort of vortex, what is the composition of that “vortex”. Would that be the hypothesized “ether”? For exactly the same reason that the surface of “space” could not be “curved” otherwise than by collisions with outside material objects, the same holds true for any hypothesized curvature inside this “space atom”.
