In defense of Euclid (was: Einstein's dream)

[purplie]

How do black holes prove Einstein’s maths wholly unsound?
General Relativity predicts black holes.

I am now confused about what is tongue in cheek vs what is sincere, and you’re either a PhD in physics who is making a third level in joke about poles and singularities, in which case it evades most people, or you have misunderstood the point about how “GR breaks down at a singularity”.

The joke was supposed to be that he used an imprecise tape measure to measure his imprecise walls, and came to the silly conclusion that the room was so warped that, if Einstein were right, it would signal the presence of some dire gravitational calamity. That he was still alive was proof Einstein was wrong.
