On the Zero-energy Universe

TL;DR

This paper investigates the total energy of the Universe using pseudo-tensor methods, concluding it is zero, and introduces a novel calculation linking the equivalence principle to co-moving observers in cosmology.

Contribution

It provides a new calculation confirming the Universe's total energy is zero, connecting the equivalence principle with co-moving observer frameworks.

Findings

Total energy of the Universe is zero based on pseudo-tensor calculations.

Clarifies doubts about energy calculations in cosmology.

Introduces a novel approach linking the equivalence principle to energy assessment.

Abstract

We consider the energy of the Universe, from the pseudo-tensor point of view(Berman,1981). We find zero values, when the calculations are well-done.The doubts concerning this subject are clarified, with the novel idea that the justification for the calculation lies in the association of the equivalence principle, with the nature of co-motional observers, as demanded in Cosmology. In Section 4, we give a novel calculation for the zero-total energy result.
