or Energy x space -time= momentum?

Or Energy equals Momentum divide by space -time curvature?

or momentum = energy time x curvature of a gravitational mass

First of all linear and angular momentum are two different things altogether.It doesn't follows from what you have said that linear momentum = angular momentum.
In any case you will always have to multiply the linear momentum by 'r' to get the angular momentum.

Momentum = m*v
Energy /distance * time = Force * distance /distance * time
=Force * time=mass * acc * time = mass* velocity
So you are correct dimensionally

Energy* Space * time=energy *distance * time
=Force * distance* distance *time
=mass* vel *distance^2 so this isn't momentum

Curvature of space time will have units of 1/(space time)

Find out yourselves whether next two are correct

Curvature of gravitational mass ??
You probably mean curvature caused by mass.
I am not sure of this part though .In any case curvature will have units of (1/space time)


Just remember
Conservation of energy follows from isotropy of time
Conservation of momentum follows from isotropy of space

That would be elliptical not angular. Angular requires a corner.
