Question About Riemann Spheres
« 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.

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.

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

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.
