Abstract
A very simple and physical derivation of the conservation equation for the propagation of gravitational radiation is presented. The formulation is exact. The result takes the readily recognisable and intuitive form of a Poynting-style equation, in which the outward propagation of stress-energy is directly related to the volumetric equivalent of a radiation reaction force acting back upon the sources, including the purely gravitational contribution to the sources. Upon averaging, the emergent pseudo tensor for the gravitational radiation is in exact agreement with that found by much more labour-intensive methods.
