Møller's energy-momentum complex — Once again

  • Published:

Abstract

The 35-year-old problem of Møller's energy-momentum four-vector when transformed by a global Lorentz transformation is discussed again. It is argued that Møller's result is adequate from the viewpoint of general relativity and hence does not defeat his energy-momentum complex.
