A Simple Approach to Understanding the Stress-Energy Tensor

Authors: Mueiz Gafer KamalEldeen

The common method of defining the stress-energy tensor is confusing and inconsistent. In this article, an alternative simple method for definition is presented. The connection between the stress-energy tensor used in general relativity and the stress tensor used in material mechanics contains errors, as all stresses occurring in the material cause an increase in the fields that bind the microscopic parts of the material and affect only the material's density.
