Abstract
It is shown that for a general nonstatic spherically symmetric metric of the Kerr-Schild class several energy-momentum complexes give the same energy distribution as in the Penrose prescription, obtained by Tod. This result is useful for investigating the Seifert conjecture for naked singularities. The naked singularity forming in the Vaidya null dust collapse supports the Seifert conjecture. Further, an example and a counterexample to this conjecture are presented in the Einstein massless scalar theory.
