Abstract

We argue that it is possible to assign Bondi as well as ADM four-momentum to the ultrarelativistic limit of the Schwarzschild black hole in agreement to what is expected on physical grounds: The Bondi-momentum is lightlike and equal to the ADM-momentum up to the retarded time when particle and radiation escape to infinity and drops to zero thereafter, leaving flat space behind.
