This was extended to cylindrical gravitational waves by Weber and Wheeler. Here a general, exact, formula for the momentum imparted to test particles in arbitrary spacetimes is presented.6 pagesGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyGeneral Formula for the Momentum Imparted to Test Particles in Arbitrary Spacetimestext
