Jun 19, 2018 at 19:21 comment added user76568 @BenCrowell Do you mean vanish after gravitational wave passes them or that wave solutions have vanishing scalars? Interesting..
Jun 19, 2018 at 18:51 comment added user4552 @user76568: The whole of definitions that are coordinate independent is the scalar R and perhaps another scalar, And whether curvature tensorial qunatities vanish or do not vanish. No? Not true. There are infinitely many curvature scalars that can be constructed, not just R. And knowledge of all curvature scalars does not suffice to describe the spacetime, e.g., all curvature scalars vanish for a gravitational wave. What is the difference between non static and time dependent metric/solution? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_spacetime
Jun 19, 2018 at 18:49 comment added user4552 @HeisenbergImage: Yes. (Good point, though.)

Jun 19, 2018 at 14:24 comment added HeisenbergImage How about Einstein's static solution? Do we disregard it because of instability?
