- How different terms of the Einstein equation are important?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equations
If we study when the sun bent the light of the stars behind it, which above terms have the largest influence, and which can be neglected? (I think that the third term can be neglected for such phenomena.)
And what changes when we are close to a small black hole?
Probably the first and the second terms have different visualizations and meanings?
Probably these answers can be related to Baez's paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/0103044?
Probably they can be related also to Carroll's paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9712019?
