Dear Richard,<br>
<br>
the article about the inertia of the photon is a good presentation
of cases where the inertia is visible, and the calculation
complements this in a very good way.<br>
<br>
Anyway I have two comments:<br>
<br>
1.) The "principle of equivalence" which means here the weak
equivalence is not the only possible explanation for the fact that
every object has the same acceleration in a gravitational field. The
other possibility is that gravitational acceleration has nothing to
do with mass and with a force. That is particularly visible in the
case of the deflection of photons passing the sun. Many authors
(e.g. Roman Sexl) have shown that this can be fully explained as a
refraction process.<br>
<br>
2.) The calculations of the inertial mass of a photon are very good.
However they do not cover the question what the origin of inertia in
physics is. As you mention,the Higgs model does not work. It is a
clear fact from astronomical observations that the QM Higgs field
does not exist (conflict between theory and observation being a
factor of > 10^57. You say that this is an open question in
physics. Here I insist in the position that any extended object
inevitably has inertia, and that another cause is not needed. <br>

shows that the electron has an inertial mass gamma m. I show

Yes, any extended object has inertia. I think that
this is not too difficult to understand and to
visualize. So again:<br class="">
<br class="">
What makes an object to be extended? The constituents
have to be bound to each other so as to maintain a
distance. If now one of the constituents is moved, the
other constituents will follow to keep this distance.
But that does not happen instantaneously as the
binding field propagates "only" with the speed of
light. That means that for a very short time the other
constituents remain where they are and the binding
fields originating in them will not change. So, for
this short time the constituent being moved has to be
taken out of the potential minimum of the fields of
the other constituents. This requires a force. After a
short time, the speed of light permits the other
particles to move and also their fields to move. And
as a consequence there is no longer a force necessary.
- This fact that for an intermediate time a force is
necessary to change the motion state of an object is
called inertia. - Really too difficult?<br class="">
<br class="">
The calculation shows that in fact a smaller object
has more inertia. It is proportional to the inverse of
the distance of the constituents. The reason is that
on the one hand the binding field is universal for all
elementary particles, on the other hand the strength
of the forces is higher at smaller distances, as we
know it from all forces. As I have said many times,
the model provides precise results. This can be found
on my web site for those interested. This precision
applies of course also to the relation between size
and mass.<br class="">
<br class="">
Since the time when I started this discussion about
inertia 15 years ago, I have made the experience that
a certain portion of discussion partners (maybe 10 to
20 percent) have problems to understand and to
visualize this process of inertia. Those persons are
mainly physicists working in theory and who are more
specialized for algebra than for physics. But a
minority. Last month we had the spring conference of
the German Physical Society here in Hamburg about
particle physics. Even though I had to give my talks
about inertia and about the error of de Broglie in one
out of 22 parallel sessions, most people came into my
session. The acceptance and the discussion about these
topics was very encouraging. And this is my permanent
experience.<br class="">

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Andrew,<br
class="">
<br class="">
thank you for your considerations and arguments
about my mass model. And please apologize that I
kept you waiting for a response. I was off for
several days.<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
The main argument against my model is the
general opinion that elementary particles,
particularly electrons, are point-like and have
no constituents. 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 class="">
<br class="">
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.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br
class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
The explanation of inertia of an electron by a
bound photon is in my understanding not a real
explanation as it assumes that a photon itself
has some kind of inertia, without explaining how
this works inside a photon. So it just diverts
the 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 assume that all these particles
are built by bound photons?<br class="">
<br class="">
So, in my understanding, if there is another
explanation for inertia, then we will have two
explanations in parallel. Or, if on the other
hand someone has or knows an experiment which is
in conflict with my model, that would of course
refute my model. Up to now I did not hear about
such results.<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you again for your considerations.<br

You have repeatedly based your model on lack

I will be happy to see alternatives

<div class="">I'm sure that alternatives

debate.<span

<br class="">
My own relativistic model for inertia
depends on the electron being, in its
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.<span

<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Your two-particle model
faces the same challenge. Unless you are
able to shape that premise into an
acceptable form, it is unlikely that
anything that follows will matter. Can
you (re)define your particles to be
acceptable to an audience and still
fulfill your assumptions and derived
results?<br class="">
