| Space curvature: Space curvature is the distortion of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. In general relativity, spacetime is not flat but is curved by the presence of massive objects. See also Spacetime, Matter, Gravitation, Theory of Relativity, Minkowski space._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Bernulf Kanitscheider on Space Curvature - Dictionary of Arguments
I 180 Conservation law/space curvature/locality/local/relativity theory/Kanitscheider: The curvature does not allow a transition to global conservation laws! The matter tensor Tμν does not include the energy of the gravitational field, this is not present locally at points, but always smeared over a larger area, because of the equivalence principle, the local path transformability of the field. >Equivalence principle/Kanitscheider. Spacetime/curvature: from this follows that the curvature is not only produced unilaterally by the matter, but that just also vice versa the spacetime of the matter prescribes its motion via its curved geodesics. >Space-time._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
