Which theorem did Yau contribute to?
Pythagorean theorem
The positive energy theorem
Theorem of everything
Einstein's theory of relativity
Answer
The positive energy theorem is a mathematical theorem that states that the energy of a classical field in general relativity must be positive. Theorem was first proposed by Roger Penrose in 1965, and was later proved by Shing-Tung Yau in 1975. The positive energy theorem has important implications for Theory of black holes, as it shows that black holes cannot be completely empty.
