With Distributional Sources > s.a. gravitating matter [shells, weak solutions]; metric matching; solutions [defects]; types of metrics.
* Result: There is no solution corresponding to a matter stress-energy with support on a timelike line; This means that particles cannot be thought of as δ-function distributions of matter (maybe as black holes?).
