…That balancing would coax a non zero Vacuum expectation value from either the Cosmological Constant or the Stress energy Tensor. That would be stuff. In short, Einstein Field Equations require ‘Stuff’ to exist in certain topologically rich situations. So: Stuff may be forced. — PolitiTweet.org

Weird but great and devious question. Assume that the underlying spacetime were topologically rich. Then it would be quite likely that it would carry no Flat metric by some Gauss Bonnet type theorem. If the Einstein curvature couldn’t vanish it would have to be balanced… — PolitiTweet.org

Hey Physicists...should stuff exist? Like...wouldn't it make more sense if it...didn't?

P.S. Experts trying to poke holes due to simple Twitter style in the above are expected to supply obvious details before bitching (e.g. “But doesn’t the Weyl tensor in the Kernel of Einstein eqns carry most of topological information?”). The argument works & was careful enough. — PolitiTweet.org
