Contradiction for a Gravitational Plane Wave Pulse Colliding with a Mass

Authors: Karl De Paepe

We consider a system of a gravitational plane wave pulse colliding with a mass. We assume as size and mass go to zero that the the path of the mass approaches a geodesic of a plane gravitational wave pulse having zero Ricci tensor. Assume also that energy and momentum are conserved. We show these assumptions lead to a contradiction.
