Abstract

A new approach has been used to evaluate the momentum and angular momentum of the isotropic and homogeneous cosmological models. It is shown that the results obtained for momentum exactly coincide with those already available in the literature. However, the angular momentum expression coincides only for the closed Friedmann model.
