dc.descriptionWe show that Einstein's gravitational field has zero energy, momentum, and stress. This conclusion follows directly from the gravitational field equations, in conjunction with the differential law of energy-momentum conservation $ T^{μν}_{;ν} = 0 $. Einstein rejected this conservation law despite the fact that it is generally covariant. We trace his rejection to a misapplication of Gauss' divergence formula. Finally, we derive the formula which pertains to energy-momentum conservation.
