description

We consider the question of properly defining energy and momenta for non asymptotic Minkowskian spaces in general relativity. Only those of these spaces which have zero energy, zero linear 3-momentum, and zero intrinsic angular momentum would be candidates to creatable universes, that is, to universes which could have arisen from a vacuum quantum fluctuation. Given a universe, we completely characterize the family of coordinate systems in which it would make sense saying that this universe can be a creatable universe.
