Then, a small body which is allowed to deform the original spacetime metric g moves, nonetheless, along a geodesic of (M, g).en-USGeodesic motiondominant energy conditionaveraged dominant energy condition(3 + 1)-spacetime decompositionThe Ehlers–Geroch theorem on geodesic motion in general relativityArtículo
