no-go theorem forbidding massless particles of higher spin from carrying a conserved Lorentz-covariant current or stress-energy tensor.

In particle physics, Weinberg-Witten theorem refers to no-go theorem forbidding massless particles of higher spin from carrying a conserved Lorentz-covariant current or stress-energy tensor. This meaning comes from Weinberg (1980) in Physics Letters B.[1]
