What sits on each side of the field equation?

• Curvature geometry and energy-momentum
• Two copies of the metric
• Two unrelated constants

What records curvature?

• The coordinate labels
• The clock on the wall
• The Riemann tensor

Curvature is measured by carrying a vector around a closed loop.

Circle one:   True   False

Matter moves through geometry, and matter also does what?

• Ignores geometry entirely
• Deletes the field equation
• Fixes the geometry it moves through

Your arrow returns rotated after a small loop. What do you conclude?

• The region is perfectly flat
• The region is curved
• Loops always destroy arrows

What fixes the constant between the two sides?

• Demanding the weak-field limit gives Newtonian gravity
• Popular vote among physicists
• The color of the textbook

A student claims the two sides are unrelated lists. What is missing?

• Longer lists on both sides
• A third unrelated side
• The equation ties them: matter fixes geometry, geometry guides matter

A proposed theory matches everything but fails the weak-field limit. What is wrong?

• It uses too few tensors
• It cannot recover Newtonian gravity, so its constant or form is off
• It explains far too much
