Abstract:

We calculate the total energy of Taub's 1951 exact solution for a Bianchi type-IX geometry using several different energy-localization procedures, including the prescriptions of Einstein, Papapetrou, Landau-Lifshitz and Möller. We compare these results to those for other anisotropic geometries, and comment on their relationship to Rosen's conjecture about the total energy of the universe.

Keywords: Taub solution; Mixmaster universe; Energy-momentum complex
