With (+−−−) signature and c=1, T00​=(E2+B2)/(2μ0​) while T0i​=−(E×B)i​/μ0​. Raising the second index gives T0i=Si​, where S is the Poynting vector, and symmetry gives the physical energy-flux components Ti0. The negative mixed component is a metric-sign effect, not reversed energy transport. In SI coordinates x0=ct, Ti0=Si​/c.
