Spacetime curvature is a physical reality rather than a coordinate artifact
The physical reality of spacetime curvature is well-established by general relativity, confirmed by extensive gravitational and cosmological observations, and utilized across modern astrophysical research.
The retrieved mainstream physics papers rely on general relativity and the physical reality of spacetime curvature to model phenomena ranging from neutron stars to gravitational waves and critical collapse. While some speculative fringe or foundational papers discuss the ultimate emergence of spacetime from quantum entanglement, standard gravitational physics overwhelmingly treats spacetime curvature as a real physical phenomenon.
