[edit] I don't get it
Hmm. Although I assume the historical reporting is accurate, the explanation of the"modern view" is opaque and seems wrong. If two different calculations give the same result, then a naive interpretation is that the curvature effects are somehow negligable. That is, if one took the curved-space calculations, and expanded them in powers of the curvature, one might expect to get back the "progression of flat spaces" calculation. Right? So one might naively expect that the reason the two different calculations give the same answer is that, under the covers, they are doing the same thing, up to some negligable terms. Thus, it seems there is some fallacy but its not clear from the article quite what that fallacy really is ... linas 00:38, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
