I fully agree with your paper; however, I was asking a different question on what I think is a related subject. Unfortunately, I did not give the adequate context. I don't think that you understood what I was asking.

is it always so? or can the EM energy be bound to the electron in the same manner as that from a constantly accelerated atomic electron that is constantly emitting radiation (a la Maxwell) that does not leave the source.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>

atom stability. I do not really know how this works in any detail, there may be papers that treat this subject but I am not aware of any. In general case, a combination of two non-zero fields that have the same far-field configuration, but opposite phase interfere
destructively and cannot radiate. In fact, as an example,the combination of a dipole and a so-called anapole field can do this perfectly. Important is that these fields have different topology and their combination is non trivial. Therefore, there exists a
non-zero field close to the source. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Andrew,<br>
The paper "light is heavy" is no more, and no less, than a supposedly didactic and the only consistent explanation of special relativity and its consequences. Most important points are that there are some confusions:<br>
1) mass is not matter<br>
2) energy is equivalent, exactly the same as, mass: E=mc^2<br>
3) light is massive, both in the inertial and gravitational sense, as is obvious from experiment<br>
4) the greatest confusion is about light being massless, which indeed it would be if it couldn't/didn't move. The whole point is that light is always moving at the speed of light, so it is a non-existing limit.<br>
<br>
Weighing a box with a molecular gas, or that of a "photon" gas give the same kind of result: the gravitational mass of the gas plus the weight of the box. Light is gravitationally deflected by large masses, experimentally. Light carries momentum and energy.<br>
<br>
There is nothing new in what i say, it is consistent with Einsteinian relativity an represents the vision of Herman weyl too, and many others<br>
<br>
Best, Martin<br>
