(i) Which is the most helpful place to land when clicking a link from the phrase 'spacetime curvature' encountered in other text? (ii) which article narrows down most specifically on this concept.

Is 'Spacetime Curvature' more general than 'general relativity'? i.e. Does it appear in other proposed theories: string theory, Kaluza–Klein_theory. Fmadd (talk) 08:42, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Is there even scope for 'spacetime curvature' to be an article
"spacetime curvature is ....   ;it is found in the general theory of relativity where it is described by the Einstein field equations. spacetime topology also becomes important . Other proposed theories involve extensions of the idea of curved spacetime, e.g. Kaluza-Klein theory.  The curvature affects the fate of the universe, e.g closed vs open vs flat.."

I see other parts of the EFE elaborated in pages: Stress–energy tensor, Metric tensor (general relativity), Ricci curvature tensor
