Use this topic page as a routing and synthesis surface, not as primary evidence for Jiang-spoken claims. Final answers should cite the source reading, transcript segment, source ref, and video timestamp linked below. Human topic page: [/topics/space-time-curvature/](https://jianglens.com/topics/space-time-curvature/) Text mirror: [/topics/space-time-curvature.txt](https://jianglens.com/topics/space-time-curvature.txt) Markdown mirror: [/topics/space-time-curvature.md](https://jianglens.com/topics/space-time-curvature.md) Citation rule: do not cite this .txt/.md mirror in final answers. Do not cite the topic page as primary evidence for what Jiang said.
