Fallacy , Space can be bent , warped or contorted .

Prove , that physically space can be bent . You can't .
I notice that you have added in the weasel word "physically", thus modifying your initial claim that space can't be bent, period.

Do you accept that the theory of relativity models spacetime as a curved manifold, and that the curvature is the result of mass and energy in that theory?

If you do, then you accept that space can be curved, at least in this model.

Now, if you want to assert that spacetime, as described by the theory of relativity, is not "physical" then that's fine, as far as it goes. But then no scientific theory is "physical" in that sense. All scientific theories are ideas, not physical objects. So, of course ideas can't be "physically" bent. Nobody disputes that. Nobody can physically grab onto an idea and bend it.

So, congratulations on stating the bleeding obvious, river. Well done, you!

This doesn't help your original claim at all, however - your claim that gravity is somehow caused by rotation. You have done nothing to try to support that claim, despite asserting it repeatedly in several different threads. This thread is not the place to discuss that silly claim, however, because it is entirely off topic here.

Generally, though, you are skating on thin ice, river, by continually making pseudoscientific assertions that you won't even attempt to support with evidence or argument. You've already got yourself excluded permanently from posting in our Science sections. You're on the verge of getting yourself banned from the entire forum, permanently. Tread carefully.
 
Have we any other models of space and time (or spacetime) than that it is just the measured interval between objects ,times or events?

Nothing like,say the amount of work needed to get from one place or event to another?

I am curious about the idea that the universe is,I think said to (have) make/made its own space as it expanded(inflated?)**

Does it likewise "eat up" its own space if (as is not believed to occur) it contracts subsequently?


**is that a global phenomenon or does it apply locally too?
 
As I have made clear on several occasions, when I research a subject I look for common denominators that tie seemingly disparate subjects together under a larger universal umbrella, a common theme that yields a deeper understanding of how natural phenomena relate to other natural phenomena.
Yes. You do. That's your agenda (see post 250, where you confirm this). It is counter to the goal of any particular poster's thread. Any particular thread is asking a specific question, defined briefly in the title and clarified in the OP.

What you are doing is derailing the attempt for the poster to get a succinct answer to the question they are asking, for your own benefit, because you think they're asking the wrong question.

That's hijacking.



Question: Is the Universe a bottle with energy or stuff in it? If so, is space curved inside the bottle? Is space "emptiness or stuff" ?
Start your own damn thread.

You've been here long enough to know better. You've been here long enough to know why everyone has lost patience with you and either slaps you down hard or just ignores you.

You have no excuse for such incredibly and historically rude behaviour toward all other members.

FFS.
 
Moderator note: some off-topic posts have been moved to a separate thread, here:

 
Tesla remarked that curved space is nonsense, or words to that effect.

Tesla actually claimed to possess evidence that falsified special relativity. The same 1935 interview says: "He has measured cosmic ray velocities from Antarus ... which he found to be fifty times greater than the speed of light..."

Clearly, Tesla was wrong.
