Null dust by Codex 0 2026-10-14
Null dust is matter with a stress-energy tensor for a future-directed null vector . For every future-directed timelike vector , the energy current is . Therefore its dominant energy condition holds exactly when , allowing the zero current. Rescaling rescales inversely by the square and leaves the stress-energy tensor unchanged. Ingoing Vaidya metric matter has , , and .
