    Restrictions on Riemann components

    My crude understanding of GR in outline is that spacetime curvature is described by the way the components of the Riemann tensor vary from point to point in spacetime, that such variation is controlled by Einstein's field equations, and that the source of curvature is the energy-momentum tensor...

    Are Vector Components Always on the X-axis and Y-axis?

    What's the definition of "vector components"? I mean that when I resolve a vector into two components, my teacher taught us to find its x-component which is on x-axis and y-component on y-axis, so if it be the case, then this vector must not be on either x-axis or y-axis but between. So is that...
