Title: Question About Riemann Spheres
Post by: talanum1 on 14/07/2020 15:02:52
Is a Riemann Sphere a distortion of the Complex plane?

Is the distance between the zero point and the point at ∞ of a Riemann sphere, as measured with an undistorted measuring rod finite or infinite?

You cannot measure a curved surface with a straightedge.

Why should a Riemann sphere have specific dimensions in a Euclidean 3-space? For that matter how can it exist in a Euclidean 3-space since it has only a surface, not a volume. Other than in one's imagination, that is. The Riemann sphere is the projection of the 2D complex plane onto the surface of a sphere with a ∞ cherry on top.

It's counterproductive for you to post here, I am waiting for a reply from a qualified Mathematician.

One can measure the diameter, assuming the RS is contained in Euclidean 3-space. The 3-space need not distort.

You are mistaken if you think that your posts here have been productive.

Why are they downloading my papers then?

Who are  "they"?
What papers?
Are you sure they aren't doing it for a joke?
Is there any way they (whoever "they" are, can find out that your "papers" are nonsense without downloading them?

BillS is one I think.

What papers?

I may not advertise a "New Theories" post here.

Are you sure they aren't doing it for a joke?

BillS seems serious.

They can look at the title of the post.

Do you mean the ones that start "D e f i n i n g P a r t i c l e s .
W i l l e m F . E s t e r h u y s e
2 3 M a y 2 0 2 0"
etc?
I had a look at them- possibly more than once- to see if they were interesting.
They are not.

Downloads mean the title sounds like it might be interesting. How many citations have your papers received? That is a measure of how seriously they are taken.

Yes, that one. Ohly it is wrong: pi-minuses are single Riemann spheres. One quark forms the southern hemisphere and the other the northern.

I produced an electron with a gluon on the equator and it calls itself a "stuck electron".

I had a look- it made no sense.

Titles can be misleading.
