Suppose you have a finite collection of point particles interacting gravitationally via good old Newtonian mechanics. And suppose that:
1. The time averages of the total kinetic energy and the total potential energy are well-defined.
2. The positions and velocities of the particles are bounded for all time.
Then we have
T = -V/2
where T is the time average of the total kinetic energy, and V is the time average of the total potential energy.
