                      several days.<br>
                      <br>
                      My basic point is that any extended object
                      necessarily has inertia. That is not just an idea
                      or a possibility, it is on the contrary completely
                      inevitable. I think that I have explained why this
                      is the case. If necessary I can of course explain
                      it again.<br>

                    <div> Now, if we assume or accept that elementary
                      particles are extended, then the inertia of
                      particles is inevitably given. And, as you have
                      cited it again, the results for leptons and quarks
                      are precise.<br>
                      <br>
                      The main argument against my model is the general
                      opinion that elementary particles, particularly
                      electrons, are point-like and have no

                  I think that none of the group would consider point
                  particles as possible. Point-like becomes a matter of
                  definition for acceptability. 'Extended' would be
                  generally accepted. Di- or multi-point elementary
                  particles would be rejected by most (unless one
                  considers the transition stages, e.g.
                  electron-positron creation or annihilation). I will

    "Point-like" means in present main stream physics that they are very
    small (< 10^-18 m) and do not have an internal structure. That is
    assumed e.g. for the electron and for quarks.<br>
    <br>
    I see that my 2-particle-model is not accepted by most of our
    community here (because most have an own model which is different).
    In general it is accepted by many. Two examples: Since about 14
    years my model is the number one or in the first three places in the
    internet if you ask for "origin of mass" in popular search engines.
    No physical institute and no Nobel price winner has achieved this
    position. And if I give a talk about this model at German physical
    conferences then there is a big auditory; in most cases the lecture
    hall is full; with good discussions afterwards.<br>

                    <div>The argument of those who have performed the
                      according experiments is that it was attempted to
                      decompose the electron by bombarding it with
                      particles (like protons) with sufficiently high
                      energy, A decomposition has never occurred. From
                      this it was concluded that the electron has no
                      constituents. - But this argument does not apply
                      to my particle model. The constituents of an
                      elementary particle are according to my model
                      mass-less. So one of its constituents may be
                      accelerated by an arbitrary amount, the other one
                      - as having no own mass - can follow immediately.
                      Not even any force will occur. - Accordingly this
                      argument is not applicable against this model.<br>
                      <br>
                      And the rest is known. If one determines the size
                      of the electron by the evaluation of e.g. its
                      magnetic moment, the result for the mass conforms
                      very precisely to the measurement. <br>
                      <br>
                      It is true that the assumption of two constituents
                      for an elementary particle is very uncommon. But
                      as long as there are no conflicting facts such
                      assumption can be made. It is a common way in
                      physics by my understanding. On the other hand
                      there was a kind of indication for two
                      constituents described by the article of Frank
                      Wilczek about the electron in Nature in summer
                      2013.<br>

                <div>In the 2011 Nature of Light Symposium, you may
                  remember the attached paper. Fernandez-Guasti
                  mentioned the necessity for 2 fields for wave
                  phenomena. Since most of us accept that electrons (and
                  other elementary particles?) are photon based, they
                  must all have at least 2 fields. You have described
                  your particles as massless, so being fields would be
                  consistent with their photon-based nature. That is one
                  alternative consistent with your two-particle model. I
                  would suggest that all elementary particles are
                  charged and have bound external EM fields when they
                  move. Again, you could have a bound 2-'particle'
                  system that would fit your description. Thus there are
                  two models that are probably consistent with your
                  equations and would be more acceptable to the
                  community.<br>

    I have looked into the paper of Fernandez-Guasti once again (thank
    you for sending it again). I agree to him that in a harmonic
    oscillator there is a permanent exchange of two energies, kinetic
    and potential energy. But he assumes then that a wave which may be
    originated by this oscillation has also two contribution. I think
    that this conclusion is not justified. <br>
    <br>
    Then he uses as an argument that the EM waves are built by two
    contributions, the electrical one and the magnetic one. But this is
    a very common error. The electric field and the magnetic field are
    in fact the same, only viewed from a different perspective. The
    magnetic field is a relativistic side effect of the electric field.
    It is in some way similar to the Coriolis force, which is not an
    additional force but the normal Newtonian inertia viewed from a
    moving frame. Regarding EM I refer to the popular book "Special
    Relativity" of P. French, where it is explained in a quite handy
    way. For a thorough deduction please look into W.G.V. Rosser
    "Classical Electromagnetism via Relativity". <br>
    <br>
    The dominating force in my model is not caused  by the electric
    charge as the force would be too weak by a factor of >300. So it
    can only be the strong force. The electron has an electric charge in
    addition, which is (among other effects) responsible for the Landé
    factor.<br>

    Most objects in particle physics are not visible. No one has ever
    seen a quark by his own eyes. In general, if an assumption gives in
    explanation (and maybe an exclusive explanation) and is in no
    conflict with any experiment, it is normally accepted on physics.
    Without this way of usage we would not have any modern physics, I
    think. And this is also fulfilled by the 2-particle-model.<br>

                      The explanation of inertia of an electron by a

                      problem to another particle, at least as it was
                      explained during this discussion since October
                      last year. And also the task to be done is not
                      only the mass of an electron, but the mass of all
                      particles, i.e. all leptons and all quarks. Do you

    I do not follow this idea that elementary particles are built by
    photons by the reason that the photon has a comparable complexity as
    a lepton or a quark: it has a magnetic moment and a spin. Also it
    has inertia (transfers a moment to a mirror). So even if one
    believes that the photon is elementary, the fact of inertia has
    still to be explained. My model explains it. I do not know of any
    other model doing this (except Higgs).<br>

                              You have repeatedly based your model on

                                  Whether they have very precise results

                                  <br>
                                  My own relativistic model for inertia

                                  ground (restmass) state, a spherically
                                  bound photon. Until that concept is
                                  accepted, it makes little sense to go
                                  further in a description. However, if
                                  accepted, it then also leads to
                                  understanding the inertia of a photon.
