General Relativitys energy and positivity -- a brief history


الملخص بالإنكليزية

I give a brief review of the search for a proper definition of energy in General Relativity (GR), a far from trivial quest, which was only completed after four and a half decades. The equally (or perhaps more) difficult task of establishing its positivity -- it was to take another fifteen plus years -- will then be summarized. Extension to cosmological GR is included. Mention is made of some recent offshoots.
