Abstract: (arXiv)
Using distributional techniques we calculate the energy-momentum tensor of the Schwarzschild geometry. It turns out to be a well defined tensor distribution concentrated on the r=0 region which is usually excluded from spacetime. This provides a physical interpretation for the curvature of this geometry.
