Hi Richard,
Somewhow I seem to have lost my reply to your criticism
of my (and Leibniz's) philosophical concept of space.
I believe with Einstein that space consists only of
relative distances, not absolute ones, and also with him
that space and time only exist as spacetime, whose
increment
Roger: So neither space and time nor spacetime
physically exist.
Richard: That is unscientific. Physics could be entirely wrong.
But I will bet on physics being correct and you and Craig being incorrect.
But you are entitled to your opinion however absolute you make it sound like.

Craig,
I think Roger has an incorrect interpretation the physics of Leibniz
and Einstein.
I'm not sure. Spacetime can be warped, just as the cost of living can
'rise'. If Einstein understands that spacetime is the
