So, this is where Noether's theorem on conversation becomes unhelpful, yes? [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether%27s_theorem... I read: [2]http://motls.blogspot.com/.../why-and-how-energy-is-not... which led me to Neother's theorem and that we seem to have: [3]https://en.wikipedia.org/.../Ward%E2%80%93Takahashi_identity as an equivalent and yet, only applies in cases where Special Relativity holes, but not with General Relativity. I also haven't had my coffee yet... I woke up very very late and I might be reading this all backwards, upside down, inside out, scrambled and fried.
