Namaste, Einstein wasn't the first to introduce the theory of relativity, which actually as you are aware is flawed; For the speed of light isn't constant and can be speeded up or slowed down. Boskovic did much work on this as well, a couple of hundred years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boskovic I think in Hindu Myth the person who penetrated matter completely was probably Hiranyakasipu and that may have been a couple of million years ago. Tesla also stated that: I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to to such a view., [22] Wikipedia on Tesla. So his differences with Einstein were obviously philosophical as well. Of course it depends on what one means by 'Space'. For space isn't empty it is prana and akasha. Which is energy and therefore 'creation'. Tesla seems to be inferring that space is Prakriti and he may be right at that level. In essence taking his very Vedantic statement above, he seems to be at the understanding of Saguna at least.ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
