For one thing, you can't really determine the topology of the
universe based on limited observations---it could be circular
in some direction, and it might not be detected yet.

For another thing, it's an interesting hypothetical question,
even if it doesn't actually apply in our universe. You can
certainly use Special Relativity to analyze a universe that
is flat except for the fact that every point with coordinates
(x,y,z,t) is identified with the point with coordinates
(x+L,y,z,t). In other words, the x-axis is not a line, but
a circle. The physics of such a universe is completely determined
by Special Relativity with unusual (periodic) boundary conditions.

Such a universe has a preferred direction (the direction
"around" the universe). It therefore also has a preferred
frame (or set of frames) because only in certain special
frames is the preferred direction purely spatial (as opposed
to having a temporal component).

Decelerating energy's flow through space accelerates energy's time.
Energy has two times. One is from gravity the other from motion. They
come togther as one flow rate over energy. The two times slowdown and
come together.

Gravity time and Energy time are Unified in flow. They flow as one
rate.

You are utterly delusional drowning in your cesspool of fermented

You have been wrong for all these years. That is because you don't
understand the Lorentz transform, and it has shown for all these
years. <shrug>

I am totally surprised that a professor of physics cannot understand
this. <shrug>

I guess in inertial coordinates, which are always cartesian, you see
the curvature of the path, thus you the motion is not inertial. The
straight lines are only in straight in curved space. For example a
satellite on a round orbit goes a straigh all the time in the curved
space. But in inertial coordinates you see a curved path.

Establishing his reference system, in order to correctly understand
the meaning of the words "you are passing at high speed". His next
words "you are the one aging slower" are consistent with that meaning,
so I wrote "OK".

No, you merely don't take for "real" what you arbitrarily pretend (at
least, if you are sane of mind!).

Instead it is explained in the link that I gave below.

No, that is a "twin" EXAMPLE - what "paradox" do you see there?

He talked to physicists who were able to do the math themselves.

He pointed out that motion relative to the ether is the physical cause
of "relativistic" effects at constant velocity; and he explained how
this can be demonstrated by "absolute" effects due to a change of
velocity, as also Newton did before him.

Here the "relative" effect is the phenomenon of mutual time dilation
at constant relative speed, and the "absolute" effect is a true
difference in age of two people who first had the same age.

No worship, just lucidity.
