OK, but don't forget that every other explanation of tidal forces is necessarily mathematically equivalent to curvature. If A=B then evidence for B is also evidence for A, so I don't really see the distinction you are trying to assert here.Mentz114 said:Spacetime curvature is sufficient to explain tidal forces, but not necessary.
