Freedom of Science

Where rubber meets the asphalt, that’s where physics is. The rest is branding.

The rubric ”General Theory of Relativity” is the make of the car. It is a label. It’s branding. It has nothing to do with the tire or the asphalt.

For a stationary car we only need surface, weight and constants. All are measurable quantities.

• Unmeasurable labels are not measurable quantities.

Computations are not done with “General Theory of Relativity.” Computations are done with distance, the only measurable quantity.

In astronomy we use two labels to denote distance, radius and period. In other words, astronomical computations are done with Kepler’s rule.
