Why are General relativity texts so much more formal?

[QUOTE="Nullstein, post: 6567895, member: 688964"] Yes. E.g. the no-hair theorem has been proven only under the assumption that the manifold is analytic for example, but this is not a physical assumption, so it is an open question whether this also holds for manifolds that are merely smooth or ##C^2##. The no-hair theorem plays a central role in the justification of more advanced concepts such as holography, so it is very important to study this in detail. [/QUOTE]
