Description

We consider the problem of determining the mass of a Newtonian star in the relativistic theory of gravitation and in general relativity and we note the difference between these theories. In contrast to the relativistic theory of gravitation, the mass of a Newtonian star is not determined unambiguously by the equations of general relativity and depends on the arbitrariness in the choice of the coordinate conditions
