Quotations
347 ;;Quote: equivalence of inert and gravitational mass by non-linear transformation of 4-d space
| 347+;;Quote: continuous transformations of 4-d coordinates express the topological order of points; i.e., neighboring points have nearly the same coordinates
| 347+;;Quote: general relativity -- equations of the laws of nature must be covariant w.r.t. continuous coordinate transformations
| 348 ;;Quote: physical space is a field of the continuous functions of space-time that depend on the physical contents of space
| 348 ;;Quote: material points are not fundamental; reality is a continuous field with regions of high energy density
