    Hi Richard,<br class="">
    <br class="">
    to say it again: The origin of inertia is the fact that <i class="">any
      extended object inevitably has inertia</i>. This assumption does
    not need more assumptions than the fact that c is finite.<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Nobody is forcing you to investigate my deduction of it. But if you
    are talking about it here and you have an opinion, you should know
    what you are talking about. Isn't this the normal way?<br class="">
    <br class="">
    Regarding the momentum of the photon once again: Momentum is defined
    as  <i class="">p = m * v</i>,  where m is the dynamical mass of the object
    in motion. This is physics on school level. Really too complicated?
    - The photon does have dynamical mass, and consequently it has
    momentum.<br class="">

                        Hello Richard,<br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        yes, we have to assume fundamentals in physics,
                        and which those are, may be different for
                        different physicists. In my view, forces are
                        fundamental phenomena where I do not see an
                        explanation on a lower level, at least at
                        present. I follow QM at this point in so far, as
                        forces are realized by exchange particles which
                        are mass-less,  move with c and have a distance
                        law of 1/r^2. .<br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        Momentum and inertia are in my view the same
                        phenomenon. Someone said it earlier in this
                        discussion: Momentum is the motion of an
                        inertial mass. So, to explain inertial mass by
                        momentum or momentum by inertia as general
                        explanation are in my view tautological
                        statements. There is something explained
                        essentially by itself, nothing new about it.<br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        Inertia is caused in my view (I think explained
                        here several times) by a very fundamental
                        process. Every extended object must have
                        inertia. This is caused by nothing than the
                        finiteness of the speed of light by which the
                        internal forces in an object propagate. And
                        without internal forces an extended object
                        cannot exist. This is true for any type of
                        force, so in our world the strong force and the
                        electric force. In an elementary particle the
                        strong force dominates, so I have restricted my
                        explanation mostly to the strong force. To be
                        precise, the electric force must not be
                        overlooked. In my model the consideration of the
                        electric force in the electron causes the Landé
                        factor (very precisely!)<br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        So,  the fact that an extended object behaves
                        inert, is not a possibility or some special
                        theory, but it is completely unavoidable that an

                        another topic. If you are interested you can
                        find it explained on my web site "origin of
                        gravity" (which is the no. 1 in the internet

                        My model of inertia is in some way similar to
                        the Higgs mechanism. According to the Higgs
                        theory there are virtual particles
                        intermediately generated in the Higgs field.
                        These virtual particles couple to the real
                        particle in view and keep staying at rest in the
                        same inertial system as the real particle. If
                        now the real particle is accelerated to any
                        direction, it moves off the virtual Higgs and
                        that needs a force. This force is inertia. - The
                        similarity to my model is that in my model the
                        role of the virtual Higgs is realized by the
                        other (real) sub-particle in the elementary
                        particle. <br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        My model does not explain why there are certain
                        masses in particles realized and others not.
                        Otto Greulich has found a numerical relation for
                        the existing particles but no explanation why it
                        works. In his algorithm the factor alpha plays
                        an important role. And I have the impression
                        that the relation of strong force and electric
                        force, which is described by alpha, plays an
                        essential role in the question if a particle is
                        stable. Otto is looking for a possible
                        mechanism, but up to now he has no solution. I
                        also think about it, but presently also with no
                        success.<br class="">
                        <br class="">
                        To your last comment: Momentum is the product of
                        inertial mass and speed, as you surely know.
                        Mass is scalar, that is right, but speed is a
                        vector and so it is unavoidable that the
                        product, called momentum, is a vector. But just
                        from this definition of momentum it is visible
                        that momentum is not fundamental but a
                        combination of two other units. Isn't it?<br class="">

                                        with rest mass is likely due to
                                        internally circulating momenta.
                                        It is true as you say that in a
                                        world without inertia (or
                                        inertial mass) there would be no
                                        momentum, but in a world without
                                        momentum there would also be no
                                        inertia (or inertial mass).
                                        Inertia (or inertial mass) is
                                        due to momentum (in my
                                        approach). Momentum is not due
                                        to inertia. </div>
