One could assume here, Troy, that you mean the curved space theory, where
there are no straight lines that don't bend and intersect sooner or later.
But I disagree that Einstein set out discover that, for him too intuition
forced itself on him and he didn't have much choice in the matter. And who
knows, perhaps he had read Nietzsche's ideas of the eternal return and was
inspired by it. To me, it doesn't matter, since the eternal return can be
psychological even if not scientific.
