I hope you do not mean that energy (or equivalent, but better in this case: mass) is temporarily disappearing to mysteriously reappear. There are three pillars on which a logical and consistent physics is based: conservation of energy, a continuity equation for it and the dynamics of storing the energy in one form and let it flow into another form (and back, if we are talking oscillations or waves). What you say is not necessarily contradicting this if you say where the energy is at all times. If you cannot, then you ruin all and everything that is known to work in physics.

Still I find this a very interesting thought, but as everyone should realize by now, I hope, I am not an advocate of models. Models are useful but also deceptive, and therefore a necessary mischief. Proper experiment, and consistent theory is what makes real physics. Models are Mickey Mouse physics until their features are put into context by theory and experiment.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Best regards, Martin</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=DE style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Dr. Martin B. van der Mark</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Principal Scientist, Minimally Invasive Healthcare</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:navy'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Philips Research Europe - Eindhoven</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>High Tech Campus, Building 34 (WB2.025)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Prof. Holstlaan 4</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>5656 AE Eindhoven, The Netherlands</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Tel: <span class=skypec2cprintcontainer>+31 40 2747548</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1037" src="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png" alt="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png"></span><span class=skypec2ctextspan><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>+31 40 2747548</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1036" src="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png" alt="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png"></span><span class=skypec2cprintcontainer><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>+31 40 2747548</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1035" src="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png" alt="resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/call_skype_logo.png"></span><span class=skypec2ctextspan><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>+31 40 2747548</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'> General [mailto:</span><a href="mailto:general-bounces%2Bmartin.van.der.mark" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>general-bounces+martin.van.der.mark</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>=</span><a href="mailto:philips.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>philips.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Andrew Meulenberg<br><b>Sent:</b> zondag 5 juli 2015 2:01<br><b>To:</b> Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion;

Thus, the mass will vary as well and it cannot be measured directly. However, + & - mass are both attractive so it will have gravitational mass. Since the photon does not exist at rest, it has no rest mass. It can be confined and the mass measured. Normally, its total mass is constant. If reduced to a single wavelength, its confined mass may oscillate between a finite value and zero. However, I don't think that it can be confined as a single wavelength.<br><br>The neutrino, which can exist at rest, has restmass; but (in my view) its mass may still not be measurable because it is AC mass.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Andrew<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>On Sat, Jul 4, 2015 at 6:30 PM, Richard Gauthier <<a href="mailto:richgauthier@gmail.com" target="_blank">richgauthier@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Martin (and all)<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> You say at the end of “Light is Heavy”: "<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif'>If the photon would be put to rest, its gravitational mass would equal its rest mass, and hence vanish.” </span> I think we can agree that the closest light can be to “rest” in a vacuum is if it traveling at light-speed in a closed circle (or at light-speed in a helix as seen from a moving frame) as in our electron models. I think the question “Does such a photon have a rest mass?” is fundamental to our electron models and I think it would be good if we were able to agree on a consistent answer that can be backed by rational arguments. I claim that this circulating (circularly or helically-moving) photon does have a constant rest mass (that of the electron) since it has energy E=gamma mc^2 but its average linear momentum is zero for a resting electron or p=gamma mv in the case of an electron moving with speed v (leading in either case to a calculation of rest mass m from the relativistic energy momentum equation E^2 = p^2 c^2 +m^2 c^4). Plus we know that an electron has a rest mass m so that the hypothetical photon composing the electron also must have the same rest mass m, whether the electron is moving or not. John W has indicated earlier (as I understood him) that this photon would not have a rest mass because the photon is moving at light-speed, but its confinement due to a pivot produces the rest mass of the electron. Martin seems to be saying in “Light is Heavy" that this circulating photon has a non-zero rest mass due to its self-confinement and so it is heavy. Are these two positions really different? Could both of you make a brief clarifying statement about this point, briefly summarizing your reasons, so we can see the level of our agreement or disagreement on this point?
