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

Click For Summary
Space-time curvature is not a curvature of the Higgs field, nor is it merely a mathematical concept. It is defined as tidal gravity, which describes the gravitational effects experienced in curved space-time. The discussion concluded with this clarification, indicating that the original question was adequately addressed. Understanding the distinction between these concepts is essential in the study of gravity and general relativity. The thread has been closed following the resolution of the inquiry.

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.
