your opinions please....

[woldemar]

I wish to have some feedback upon these two mathematical axioms. Mostly, I wish to tally the yes or no responses, as well as the can't really say responses. So, if somehow, i could get say, even a dozen weigh-ins, that would be fabulous.

axiom 1 Equally aligned / spatially identical / simultaneously occurring /coincident
coordinate systems possess identical points.

axiom 2 Origin displacement does not alter point location
with respect to the coordinate system in which it resides.

axiom 1: NO, I would say there are no coordinate systems spanning space, there is just matter and the space in between. We can at best compare observations.
axiom 2: YES, the local observer has to assume his coordinate system describing the world is constant

The tally so far....including my meeting at McGill last week. ( tallied - Steven O and Dr. Sanctuary )

axiom 1
1 yes 1 no ( Steven O )

axiom 2
1 yes ( Steven O ) 1 no

Seems to be a difference of opinion already. C'mon people...surely you have an opinion - I will even accept....
"I do not get the question"....so, that means anybody can weigh in. Just ten more people please...be it now, or in a week or a month....please do weigh in.

Thanks Steven, I appreciate your feedback.
