I beg to differ. You can't have (cdt)^2-(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)=0 WITHOUT

(cdt)^2 = (dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)

NEITHER has to equal zero.

So what is your point? I already stated that I mis-read what you
wrote to say that cdt)^2-(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2) cannot equal zero WITHOUT
(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)=0. So I misread what you wrote and went on to
correct that which was a misinterpetation. Bid deal. I acknowledged
that. Now its time for you to acknowledge that you are
misrepresenting what I have written.

And would you please address the topic while lowering the rhetoric a
notch or two below abusive, cowardly, name calling?

Still weaseling? Look what you are writing:

First post:

"I beg to differ. You can't have (cdt)^2-(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)=0 WITHOUT
(cdt)^2 = (dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)"

Second post:

"I already stated that I mis-read what you wrote to say that cdt)^2-
(dx^2+dy^2+dz^2) cannot equal zero WITHOUT (dx^2+dy^2+dz^2)=0. "

So you are oscillating between idiocy and cretinsm.
