15. Actually, this statement is correct even if (Formula presented) However, we will see that once we impose the boundary conditions, we shall get (Formula presented) automatically.
16. The fact that rotations in the (Formula presented) coordinate system do not change the stationary character of the metric in the (Formula presented) coordinate system follows from the fact that rotations (and similarly translations and boosts) are Killing transformations and leave the metric invariant.
