To clarify the physical meaning, a mapping method is used, based on the analogy with the philosophical categories “phenomenon-essence-observer”. It is shown that curvilinear space can exist only inside the Euclidean space. It is also shown that the interpretation of the phenomenon called the “Big Bang” is incorrect. ER -
