Killing tensor

A killing tensor is a mathematical tool used in physics to help explain how different forces affect objects. It works by breaking an object down into its smallest parts called "tensors". Each tensor is like a single piece of the puzzle and the killing tensor can show how the different forces interact with that piece. For example, if you want to know how gravity affects an object, you could look at the killing tensor to see how it would move or how it would be altered by the force of gravity.
