| Apr 6, 2017 at 14:29 | comment | added | quallenjäger | I assumed you are meaning vector space by Euclidean space. In mathematics, vector space is a set over a field. | |
| Apr 6, 2017 at 14:26 | comment | added | quallenjäger | Because the space-time is not flat. In the flat sense you have the minkowski space with corresponding metric. However, in the presence of gravitation, the light has different behaviour. This is proved by time dilation, which means, in the presence of gravitation, the time requiring by light from A to B is different than in the absence of gravitation and this leads to the suggestion that light is taking a longer way in the latter case. Therefore one suggests there is a curvature of space-time. | |
