The passage around this formula
…be a spacelike hypersurface and the four-velocity of the observer whose notion of simultaneity represents, with taken orthogonal to u . Replace the discrete sum with the body’s stress-energy tensor and define the energy centroid . Every quantity here has a declared type. is an energy-momentum density, units of energy per volume; d is a directed three-volume element on , units of volume; is dimensionless once…
