I'm looking for an equation and I am not quite sure where to start, and am hoping someone could direct me to a good reference to some similar type equations, or at least kick me over to the proper forum. I am looking for an equation that describes the energy distribution within the space...

Just a slight correction for accuracy, the EFE allows us to calculate the effects of the curvature. Nothing in the EFE explains why there is a curvature. If we knew why there is a curvature we would have energy conservation, unification with the other forces, and a complete theory. Saying that...

@DaleSpam: I guess we will have to agree to disagree on the applicability of the word absurd. The topic of the discussion here was on the 'Cause or Gravity' and I was merely trying to get people to look at something from a slightly different perspective rather than asking them to ponder a...

@DaleSpam: I certainly do not want to come off disrespectful, but why is the requirement for energy conservation considered by you to be an absurd statement? I have read every GR book I could get my hands on and nowhere, except one bizarre reference I can't remember the off of the top of my...

Food for thought, because this is one of my favourite topics. ;) By all current theories, Gravity is caused by a curvature in space time. In essence they are invoking 'geometry' (physical representation) to explain a 'force' (energy). By this theory things move by geodesics through this...
