Abstract

The question of the localizability of the energy in gravitational fields is discussed once more. It is shown that the expression for the energy density, derived in an earlier paper γ, doet not have all the properties required for a satisfactory description of the energy distribution. An essential correction to one of the statements in the mentioned paper is made. A careful analysis of the desirable properties of the notions in question is carried through, the conclusion being that none of the expressions derived so far satisfies all the requirements necessary for a satisfactory description of the localization of the energy. At the end, it is indicated how the “four-leg” formulation of the gravitational theory might provide a solution of the problem.
