I’d like to understand what the energy and conserved charge in general relativity are. So, I’m studying the dynamics of binary which emits the gravitational waves. Generally, we believe that emitting the gravitational waves causes binary to lose its energy. However, if there exists the new conserved charge, gravitational waves don’t carry energy, which might be hidden somewhere or changed into something else. In order to solve this inconsistency, I consider what is physically valid by comparing the traditional understanding of general relativity with the interpretation of new conserved charge. Through that process, I’d like to formulate new theories or develop new computational techniques, which would give us the clues of quantization of gravity.
