Is space-time curvature a curvature of the Higgs field?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Space-time curvature is definitively identified as tidal gravity, rather than a curvature of the Higgs field or merely a mathematical abstraction. This conclusion clarifies the relationship between gravitational effects and the geometric interpretation of space-time. The discussion confirms that the original question posed by the OP has been satisfactorily addressed, leading to the closure of the thread.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity
  • Familiarity with the concept of tidal gravity
  • Basic knowledge of the Higgs field
  • Mathematical concepts related to curvature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of general relativity and its implications on space-time
  • Study tidal gravity and its effects in astrophysics
  • Explore the Higgs field and its role in particle physics
  • Examine mathematical models of curvature in physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the fundamental concepts of gravity and space-time geometry.

Is space-time curvature a curvature of the Higgs field ? or just a mathematical curvature drawn on paper ?

It is neither of those. Spacetime curvature is tidal gravity.
