Debunking Einstein's 4D spacetime

Is there a difference between a dimension and a coordinate, between width and latitude? If so, the mathematicians are unware of it. Of course, it is no wonder that they conclude that you live within a four-dimensional sphere.

It is entirely inexplicable that in the last 10,000 years the mathematicians have not realized that there is a difference between a dimension, a coordinate, and a vector. The three dimensions are known as length, width, and height and have to do with architecture and orientation. The three coordinates are known as longitude, latitude, and altitude and have to do with location. Dimensions point outward from an object. Coordinates point inward toward an object. The three vectors are known as depth, breadth, and elevation. They describe the mutually orthogonal directions in which an object may move. No rational person would confuse length (orientation) with longitude (location) or with depth (motion)!

One could argue that the mathematicians simply have a different definition of the word dimension: "the number of coordinates." But then, this definition leads them to amusing conclusions that by far surpass the centuries-old supernatural explanations proposed by traditional religions. Relativists claim that, according to the mathematical definition of dimension, the Universe is four-dimensional.

How is this possible if we cannot even imagine such a monster?

The mathematicians claim that in addition to length, width and height (dimensions) we need an extra 'dimension' known as time to specify an object's LOCATION in space!

There are so many conceptual errors in this breathtaking statement that one doesn't know where to begin. Are the mathematicians talking about locating an object on the surface of another object? If so, why do they use dimensions and not coordinates? (Oh, I forgot. A mathematician doesn't understand the difference between a dimension and a coordinate. Scratch that!) Is time a dimension? If so, in what ways is time similar to height?

To make a long story short, it turns out that the mathematicians are NOT talking about dimensions, coordinates, or vectors. Mathematics has no use for such qualitative concepts. A mathematician deals exclusively with number lines. The mathematicians simply got into the bad habit of calling their number lines dimensions, coordinates, and vectors.

Number lines have at least one important property that dimensions, coordinates, and vectors lack: magnitude. Dimensions, coordinates, and vectors have at least two properties that number lines don't have: direction and orthogonality. In what direction does a series of numbers point, anyway? To what does a set of numbers run perpendicular?

Therefore, when relativists propose that we live within an unimaginable 4D sphere, the D in '4D' does not allude to dimensions, but to number lines. The 11 and 26 'dimensional' worlds talked about in String Theory are no different.

However, the spherical '4D' universe of relativity suffers from an even more fundamental fatal problem. What contours and gives shape to the sphere?

Relativists have three irreconcilable answers to this question, take your pick:

1. It is an invalid question like asking what's north of the North Pole.

2. It is an unscientific question because we have no way to test the hypothesis. The question is philosophical

3. It is not expanding into anything. The closed space is all there is.

The correct answer is that relativists don't understand the Scientific Method. In Science, it is the responsibility of the presenter to propose a rational hypothesis that makes or breaks his or her theory, not for the philosophers at the other side of campus to figure it out.
