Mathematically, the tidal force in general relativity is described by the Riemann curvature tensor, [1] and the trajectory of an object solely under the influence of gravity is called a geodesic. The geodesic deviation equation relates the Riemann curvature tensor to the relative acceleration of two neighboring geodesics.
