Static observers remain on Killing-vector world lines and measure the rest-mass+kinetic energies of particles moving past them, and the flux of that mechanical energy through space and time. The total mechanical energy is the total flux…
Motivated by a special consideration in quantum measurement, we present a new improved energy-momentum tensor. The new tensor differs from the traditional canonical and symmetric ones, and can be derived as Nother current from a Lagrangian…

Describing the gravitational energy-momentum, the super-energy Bel-Robinson tensor is the best candidate. In the past, people seems only explore the lowest order: the electric part $E_{ab}$ and magnetic part $B_{ab}$ for the Riemann tensor.…
