Is there any physical interpretation of nash embedding theorem?

Nash embedding theorem says that every Riemannian manifold can be (isometrically) embedded into $R^n$. That means that every $RM$ is a sub-manifold to $R^n$.

Since General Relativity is defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and classical theories are defined on a "simple" euclidean space, I want to ask what the embedding theorem means for the relation between GR and classical physics.
