Thanks for the compliment, DJS.
It was actually never a fight because you half right. I do know what I am talking about, Village Girl is simply arguing about a fundamental component of relativity she doesn't understand a doing a cut-n-paste barrage along with insults hoping to shut others up.
The fundamental issue is that I pointed out that space and time are the same thing, much like electricity and magnetism or energy and matter. That concept is a key foundational underpinning of both general and special relativity. That is what village girl is arguing about, so it it's very very clear that she does NOT grasp what she is cutting and pasting and insulting people about. It would be no different that someone claiming to have a degree in math yet not know what Cantor's theorem is or how sets works.
So, to put this to bed, rather that let village girl hang herself by not showing me hers, I'll show everyone mine.
So, from Einsteins own paper that village girl linked to:
From this it follows that, in respect of its role in the equations of physics, though not with regard to its physical significance, time is equivalent to the space co-ordinates (apart from the relations of reality). From this point of view, physics is, as it were, a Euclidean geometry of four dimensions, or, more correctly, a statics in a four-dimensional Euclidean continuum.
From chapter 2 of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time":
There is no need to introduce the idea of an ether, whose presence anyway cannot be detected, as the Michelson-Morley experiment showed. The theory of relativity does, however, force us to change fundamentally our ideas of space and time. We must accept that time is not completely separate from and independent of space, but is combined with it to form an object called space-time.
Now, I could go on and on, but the point is proven.
