Whitehead offers an alternative formulation and claims on behalf of his formulation that it can account for all experimental results accounted for by the Einsteinian formulation but that it represents a different interpretation of these results in terms of a more adequate concept of nature (PNK vi; CN vii, 182; IS 125 - 35).18 The major theoretical difference between the two formulations is that whereas in the Einsteinian formulation the metric structure of the space - time continuum is variable from point to point and in differing directions (that is, heterogeneous and nonisotropic), in the Whiteheadian formulation the metric structure of the space - time continuum is uniform from point to point and in differing directions (that is, homogeneous and isotropic).

In light of the definition of «a straight line,» however, this would mean that in diverse regions of the space - time continuum under consideration the measuring rod, under prevailing standard conditions or the introduction of correction factors, is not deformed in its length as it is moved from point to point or in differing directions in the space - time continuum.

Select a measuring rod and construct a second measuring rod of a material differing from the first but otherwise identical; place the two rods together so that their endpoints coincide; and move the pair of rods about in the space - time continuum.

Now, if measurement can be significant only if the measuring rod is free of all deforming influences, not simply those attributed to the influence of «differential» forces, then given a space - time continuum of variable metric structure, no set of conditions can be specified to ensure that the measuring rod does not undergo deformation in its length as it is transported from point to point during the process of measurement.

In summary, extending Whitehead's doctrine of eternal objects to include the idea that they form a dense continuum seems to raise at least two problems: (1) it requires that God consciously prehend a nondenumerable multitude of propositions regarding every past actual occasion and (2) it requires either that a new concrescence choose its subjective aim from a nondenumerable multitude of alternatives or that this multitude somehow be restricted before all these alternatives are prehended by the occasion.
