Using the symmetric energy-momentum complexes of Landau and Lifshitz, Papapetrou, and Weinberg we obtain the energy of the universe in anisotropic Bianchi type I cosmological models . The energy (due to matter plus field) is found to be zero and this agrees with a previous result of Banerjee and Sen who investigated this problem using the Einstein energy-momentum complex. Our result supports th...

Using the fact that teleparallel gravity allows a separation between gravitation and inertia, explicit expressions for the gravitational and the inertial energy-momentum densities are obtained. It is shown that, like all other fields of nature, gravitation alone has a tensorial energy-momentum density which in a general frame is conserved in the covariant sense. Together with the inertial energ...
