[QUOTE="Hermit, post: 144434, member: 216"] We're talking about the claim that "space" i.e. an area without physical matter, is curved! It's total nonsense because a non-physical concept such as space cannot be curved. I am also pointing out a logical fallacy in the claim that a solar eclipse proves that space is curved. The fallacy is like this: [I]If you drank a bottle of vodka, you would be drunk. I observe that you are drunk, therefore you must have drank a bottle of vodka.[/I] This is fallacious because of course you could have drank something other than vodka to get drunk. [/QUOTE]
