Why is the Schwarzschild Solution Independent of the Spatial Stresses?

Abstract

The following paradox is raised and resolved: Both the energy density T_(00) and the spatial stresses T_(kl) are (independent) sources of the tensor gravitational field in general relativity. Yet the general Schwarzschild exterior solution depends only on one parameter m, related to T_(00), so that no properties of T_(ij) "propagate" to affect an outside observer.
