Also
"is that geometry is a construct of the intellect".

Not just geometry all definitions are construct of the intellect.

Hey Fellow Tesla fan so now your eyes are on another genius Einstien. It's good to have intellectual views on these genius.

Physicists usually take the Theory of Relativity into two parts.

* The first is the Special Theory of Relativity, which essentially deals with the question of whether rest and motion are relative or absolute, and with the consequences of Einstein’s conjecture that they are relative.

* The second is the General Theory of Relativity, which primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newton’s theory, predicting important new results for fast-moving and/or very massive bodies. The General Theory of Relativity correctly reproduces all validated predictions of Newton’s theory, but expands on our understanding of some of the key principles. Newtonian physics had previously hypothesised that gravity operated through empty space, but the theory lacked explanatory power as far as how the distance and mass of a given object could be transmitted through space. General relativity irons out this paradox, for it shows that objects continue to move in a straight line in space-time, but we observe the motion as acceleration because of the curved nature of space-time.

Einstein’s theories of both special and general relativity have been confirmed to be accurate to a very high degree over recent years, and the data has been shown to corroborate many key predictions; the most famous being the solar eclipse of 1919 bearing testimony that the light of stars is indeed deflected by the sun as the light passes near the sun on its way to earth. The total solar eclipse allowed astronomers to -- for the first time -- analyse starlight near the edge of the sun, which had been previously inaccessible to observers due to the intense brightness of the sun. It also predicted the rate at which two neutron stars orbiting one another will move toward each other. When this phenomenon was first documented, general relativity proved itself accurate to better than a trillionth of a percent precision, thus making it one of the best confirmed principles in all of physics.

i will elaborate...

'THE NEW VIEW OF REALITY'

THE MIND SEEMS ABLE TO LEAP OVER BARRIERS NOT ONLY OF TIME BUT ALSO OF SPACE, AND EVEN DEATH. DARING ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE STRANGE HUMAN POWERS IN TERMS OF MODERN SCIENCE.

THE STRANGE and beautiful Universe discovered by the brilliant researchers of 20th century physicists is forever hidden from our senses, adapted as they are to the macroworld. The entities of the subatomic Universe elude everyday concepts: they are related to each other in a web of mathematical probabilities in a shadow game whose rules are the laws of relativity and quantum physics. The statements of physicists about the nature of reality and about the immediate sensory world resemble more and more the statements of mystics, both eastern and western, and those of mediums regarding the operations of their psychic faculties.

The medium, the mystic and the physicist find themselves in unexpected accord. The odd man out is the one who still believes that the 19th century picture of the Universe is adequate to the whole of reality. A few quotations are sufficient to illustrate this;

The physicist Sir Arthur Eddington: "The stuff of the world is mind stuff"

The mystic Evelyn Underhill: "The game of give and take that goes on between the human consciousness and the external world..."

The physicist Louis de Broglie: "In space time everything which for each of us constitutes the past, the present, and the future is given 'en bloc'..."

The medium Eileen Garrett: "In the ultimate nature of the Universe there are no divisions in time and space."

The Zen Master Dogen: "It is believed by most that time passes; in actual fact, it stays where it is. This idea of passing may be called time, but it is an incorrect idea, for since one sees it only as passing, one cannot understand that it stays just where it is."

From a Buddhist text: "It was taught by the Buddha...that....the past, the future, physical space....and individuals are nothing but names, forms of thought, words of common usage , merely superficial realities."

The physicist Henry Margenau: "The central recognition of the theory of relativity is that geometry is a construct of the intellect. Only when this discovery is accepted can the mind feel free to tamper with the time-honored notions of space and time."

Hey hi there[fellow Tesla fan ], well I'm fine and what about you, well regarding Tesla I must say you are very much through with his life, and Einstein, well was a bit curious to know abut your academic ,I mean if you are from science background. Well friend regarding my sun sign it's same as that of Einstein .

Well regrading this topic you raised thanks for that, it's getting interested with everyday as many of guys are sharing new info and keeping their point of view. I appreciate it.

Can you mail me[vinaym19@in.com] all the links you have on Tesla.

...i havent got any e-mail links on Tesla...all my stuff comes from books, but when i got a minute i can scan some of the stuff i and mail it to you!...

i'm not from a science background, at all. hehe. i am very much art based...but, everything interests and inspires me...im into sacred geometry especially at the moment...but i hated maths in school...i love truth though.

what are your interests?...

Or simply Google the name:

Tesla

Or go to the library and get books about him.
Some are quite long.
