On the Nature of Space (S)

In 1916 Albert Einstein stated that "curvature of spacetime is directly related to the four-momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present." In M1 or M2 It is impossible to discuss Space (S) in the absence of also discussing matter and radiation. This book is essentially obsolete as these topics are further developed by The Elegance of Reason series where the "Spacetime-Mass Interface" is pointed out and developed. This thesis sprang from a thought experiment that asked "How can 'nothing' be curved?" and was the genesis of those other books. This book is available for historical purposes. The answer is "nothing" cannot be curved because there are no intrinsic reference frames on which to attach geometry. Consequently the only intrinsic features of Space (S) are it's empty and inert. This requires manifestations of curvature to be directly attributed to the matter and radiation within the Universe and not to the medium of Space (S). Traditional observations of 'curvature' are treated as a logical system and a new system of topology describes the physical system. Obviously, the implications of this are profound. Fundamentally, this observation shifts attention away from the medium and onto the manifestations of matter and radiation. It connects physics and chemistry more tightly demanding that "structures equals properties" flowing the concept to an intrinsic level. It would demand a continuum of structure through matter that blends baryionic and dark matter in a manner never before considered. The blended mechanics of structure yields all of the particles and radiation found in nature as well as each of the fundamental forces. There is a potential for it to completely eliminate the notion of 'dark energy'. Faster than light speed is quantified. Implications to the age of the Universe & all we can ever see are profound. And include the reasons for the Big Bang event. This shift in thinking can indeed manifest itself intrinsically from the quantum world to that of cosmology and in so doing unify the fundamental forces of nature.
