... similar to that developed in part c, and even faster, because it uses the evenness of the delta function as opposed to actually using the delta functions. All you need is the foresight of what it means to be on shell to be able to use it. However, there is an interesting subtlety that is missed usin ...

... In the last section, we get rid of an infinite vacuum energy on the ground that only relative energies have physical meaning. However, if the structure of spacetime is to be determined by matter distribution, the vacuum must be at zero energy. Therefore, we must impose some rules in the construction ...
