Abstract: The family of topologies that induce the Euclidean metric space on every time axis and every space axis exhibits no maximal element when partially ordered by the relation ``finer than, as demonstrated in this article. One conclusion and two reflections emerge and are addressed herein: Conclusion: a. Zeeman's fine topology [1] and G"{o}bel's extension to arbitrary spacetimes [2] do not exist. Reflections: a. Both authors' attempts may be classified as type-2 strategies, within the taxonomy of [3]. b. How could these inexistent topologies be used for decades?
