We agree on several points which include the size of the electron and there is a similarity in the explanation of gravity. The key points of disagreement are the same as I have with the rest of the group. Your explanation of a fundamental particle is not really an explanation. You substitute a fundamental particle such as an electron with two “basic particles”. Have we made any progress or did we just double the problem? What is your basic particles made of? What is the physics behind the force of attraction between the particles? What is the physics behind an electric field? How does your model create de Broglie waves? How does your model create a gravitational field (curved spacetime)? Can you derive the Coulomb law and Newtonian gravitational equation from your model? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#20188C'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#20188C'>These might seem like unfair questions, but my model does all of these things.

(Another weakness is the fact that the Higgs theory does not tell us the mass of any elementary particle even if all other parameters are known.)<br><br>As you may remember, in our meeting I have presented a model explaining inertia which does not only work as a general idea but provides very precise results for the mass of leptons. The mass is classically deduced from the size of a particle. It also explains the mass of quarks, but here the verification is more difficult, due to the lack of measurements. In addition I have shown that the model also explains the (dynamic) mass of photons, if the size of a photon is related to its wavelength. <br><br>You may find details in the proceedings of our San Diego meeting, but also on the following web sites:<br><br><a href="http://www.ag-physics.org/rmass">www.ag-physics.org/rmass</a><br><a href="http://www.ag-physics.org/electron">www.ag-physics.org/electron</a> .<br><br>You may also find the sites by Google search entering the string "origin of mass".

Accelerating a reflecting box causes different photon pressure which results in a net inertial force. I already reference your Light Is Heavy article in my book, but expanding the article would be even better. An expanded article would have particular relevance to the concept that the Higgs field is needed to give inertia to fermions. The Higgs field is not needed to give inertia to confined light. Furthermore, confined light exerts exactly the correct inertia and kinetic energy, even at relativistic conditions. I have not seen a proof that the Higgs field gives exactly the correct amount of inertia or kinetic energy to fermions. Any particle model that includes either a confined photon or confined waves in spacetime propagating at the speed of light gets inertia and kinetic energy from the same principles as confined light in a reflecting box.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>John M. </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> General [<a href="mailto:general-bounces+john=macken.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org">mailto:general-bounces+john=macken.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Mark, Martin van der<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, September 04, 2015 6:34 AM<br><b>To:</b> Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion <a href="mailto:general@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org"><general@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org></a><br><b>Subject:</b> [General] research papers<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Dear all,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>My recent (and old) work can be found on Researchgate:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Martin_Van_der_Mark/publications">https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Martin_Van_der_Mark/publications</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>In particular you will find the most recent work:</span><o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#1F497D;margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>On the nature of “stuff” and the hierarchy of forces<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#1F497D;margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'>Quantum mechanical probability current as electromagnetic 4-current from topological EM fields<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Very best regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Martin</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><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><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><span style='color:navy'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><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><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><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><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><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy'>Tel: +31 40 2747548</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman ,serif",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman ,serif",serif'><hr size=3 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:gray'>The information contained in this message may be confidential and legally protected under applicable law.
