Hi VM, Ouspensky also did. He said, "Relativity was just intellect, inside intellect, looking at itself." I missed Russell's physics' philosophy of relativity idea, what was it?

Indeed it is equivalent to the modern concept of variable geometry of space-time which need not worry about the gravitational force. This comparison was done by a famous philosopher, Bertrand Russell in his book “The analysis of matter”. In the topic of “Geodesic”, Russell had studied and discussed an interesting view about the physics’ philosophy of relativity.
