Let and let the future unit normal to be . The conserved Killing energy is the flux
Substitution of the Klein-Gordon scalar stress-energy tensor gives exactly
Apply the divergence theorem to the slab . The spatial-boundary flux vanishes because decays, and makes the two time-slice fluxes equal. Thus this conserved scalar-field energy in a static spacetime is independent of .
