Your opinions about Einstein@Home
Well Einstein's theory about space and time -as far as I can understand it is just great
But I just don't understand what Einstein means, when he is supposed to say that "gravity bends space-time structure".
If some phd around here could explain me what is space an time according to Einstein (I don't mean a geometrical explanation, based upon Riemann or Minkowsky geometries), I mean "real" space -the thing that is "actually" curved by masses- (is there a material continuum ?) that would be of a great recumfort to me
Sorry for the bad english, but hey, I'm just a Frenchman OK
Come on guys with ligo and Virgo !!!
