    <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">Dear Chandra
        and dear Grahame,</font></p>
    <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">firstly,
        thank you, Chandra, for your feedback to my contribution. I
        generally agree that there is a hierarchy of physical
        quantities. But for your example of Einstein's m=E/c^2 </font><font
        face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">  I am not so
        sure. Is E more fundamental than m? True, m is not a fundamental
        quantity on the lowest level. It describes the force which is
        needed to accelerate an object. So, the quantity force should be
        more fundamental. But what about E? In my understanding it is a
        human concept which was brought up, when physicists detected one
        day that in a closed system the quantity F*way is conserved. So
        it received the name "energy". Is this energy always conserved? 
        I think that in some reactions of particle physics it is not.
        And that is not only in the context of Heisenberg's uncertainty
        relation. It is also violated by exchange particles.</font></p>
    <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">So, what is
        about exchange particles which mediate a force or a charge? You
        both seem not to like it. But it has advantages. The general law
        of distance of forces: 1/r^2 (e.g. the Coulomb law) can easily
        be deduced by it if using the continuity relation and
        geometrical broadening. In this context it is just simple
        geometry. In addition the relativistic contraction (of fields)
        is easily understandable if exchange particles are assumed. And
        further, all explanations about gravity which do not use
        Einstein's funny distorted space-time rely on exchange
        particles.<br>
      </font></p>
    <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">Another point
        in the discussion is the question of how photons can be
        understood. It is said (at different places of the foregoing
        discussion) that matter (i.e. leptons and quarks) can be
        converted into pure energy, which means photons in this context.
        Why is it denied that a photon is a particle? It has all
        properties of a particle which the speciality that it
        permanently moves with c. And with this latter property it is
        very close to a neutrino for which nobody questions that it is a
        particle. And a photon has a well defined energy. This fact was
        indeed questioned by some contributions in this forum. To those
        who are questioning it I would like to explain the following: <br>
      </font></p>
    <p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size="-1">My PhD thesis
        was about an experiment in which photons were scattered. The
        source of the photon beam delivered photons with well defined
        energy (it was a spectrum with a strong limit of an upper
        energy). The photons were, after the scattering, detected by
        pair production which took place when the photon passed a thin
        sheet of metal. From the energy and direction of the
        electron-positron pair the energy and the direction of the
        photon was determined.  The resulting energy of the scattered
        photon was in agreement with the energy of the incoming photon.
        So the energy of the individual photon was precisely measured
        and so well defined. I do not see any argument for the position
        that a photon is not an individual but just a beam with
        properties which can only be statistically assumed. The photon
        energy measured was clearly not defined by some property of the
        detector what was sometimes suspected in the discussion here.<br>

      <div> </div>
      <div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">Thanks for this. 
          I believe I'm in full agreement with all you've said (as long
          as I've understood it correctly); my only slight difference in
          view is, I believe, a matter of semantics rather than science.</font></div>
      <div> </div>
      <div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">Like you, I don't
          accept the concept of 'force-carrying particles'; this concept
          appears to raise far more questions than it answers (if it
          answers any) - it certainly doesn't in any way offer
          significantly greater insight than the 'action at a distance'
          proposed by Newton.  [Not to put too fine a point on it, I
          find it an insult to the intelligence as it appears to expect
          a whole raft of counter-intuitive notions to be taken on
          trust.]  I agree 100% with your definition of rest-mass, also
          the additional 'oscillatory energy' that relates to motion,
          induced by some form of 'force gradient' that is itself an
          extended consequence (part of the structure) of 'material
          particles' and moves concomitantly with them.  In this respect
          such 'force effects' are not in some way communicated at
          light-speed or faster, they are an integral part of the
          particle producing that effect: if a complete unified singular
          object moves as a whole, we don't propose that one part of the
          object 'communicates its motion' to another part (at FTL
          speed) so that it too moves - it just IS a unified moving
          body.  No threat to causality there.  The fact that our
          limited senses don't perceive the whole of that extended
          entity doesn't mean that it can't exist - its very action
          proves that it does, in accordance with our understanding of
          EM effects.</font></div>
      <div> </div>
      <div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">My difference in
          view relates to your observation that particles "are not made
          of photons"; as I say, I believe this is a matter of semantics
          - essentialy how one defines a photon.  We agree that they are
          formed from light-like oscillations of the universal field -
          i.e. TEM wave packets.  If one defines a photon simply as a
          TEM wave packet then particles are formed from photons; if
          however we add the stipulation that a photon radiates
          rectilinearly from its dipole oscillatory source, then by
          definition that wave packet forming a particle cannot be a
          photon.  The fact that elementary particles are (or at least
          can be) initially created from photons is, I believe,
          established by Landau & Lifshits (1934) and demonstrated
          by the SLAC multiphoton Breit-Wheeler experiment of 1997.</font></div>
      <div> </div>
      <div><font face="Arial" color="#000080" size="2">I'm interested in
          your observation that the 'force gradient' of a particle will
          be distorted by a state of motion; I agree that this must be
          true, since the configuration of its formative field will be
          somewhat different.  As you say, it would be interesting if it
          were possible to construct an experiment to demonstrate this -
          I suspect one would first have to persuade the experimenters
          that SR is primarily a subjective effect, so that they don't
          apply 'SR logic' as an objective truth to their readings!</font></div>

              am not a theorist and am not conversant with the GR math.
              My knowledge of GR is mostly from review articles without
              math. Now, after reading Flandern, Now I believe, like
              that for SR, GR does also have rather serious foundational
              problems. And our understanding of momentum of a moving
              object needs to explored deeper in light of the fact that
              mass in not some immutable “substance”. It is the
              perturbation energy that creates the resonant self-looped
              oscillation of the cosmic Complex Tension Field (CTF); the
              rest mass being the original oscillation-inducing  energy.
              Spatial (definitely not space-time) velocity, induced by
              some  “force gradient” adds further energy to a particle
              in the form of “kinetic oscillations”. We need to
              carefully analyze how we measure and interpret “momentum”
              since mass is not an immutable intrinsic property. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

              membrane (prevailing GR analogy). Then the “particles” in

              each other depending upon the sign of the potential
              gradients. all into or are repulsed by this gradient.
              Hence<b><i>, these force gradients are mobile with the
                  particles and would suffer spatial distortion at very
                  high velocity.</i></b> Attempts to measure these
              distortion should open up new frontiers of physics. “The
              potential gradients representing “forces”, obey the
              principle of linear superposition; very much like the EM
              wave amplitudes; even though the former is “stationary”
              around the parent particle; and the latter is true
              propagating wave that follows the classic wave equation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                            lebensraum AND the ability to deal with the

                                paradoxical to me that physicists
                                (present company excepted!) all too
                                often go looking for complicated
                                explanations when there's a simple one
                                staring them in the face.  If one simply
                                sees the force of attraction between
                                unlike unit charges as being minutely
                                greater than the force of repulsion
                                between like charges - and there's no
                                known reason why they should be
                                identical (in fact it's likely that they
                                won't) - then gravitation drops out
                                totally naturally as the difference
                                between those two effects.  This would
                                seem to sit well with Occam's razor
                                since it eliminates the need for one
                                otherwise totally unexplained cosmic
                                force at a stroke.  We know that every
                                nucleon is made up of a mix of particles
                                of opposing charge (quarks) to give an
                                overall charge; it seems eminently
                                likely that even those quarks are formed
                                from energies that, taken separately,
                                would give rise to either positive or
                                negative charge elements to give the
                                overall charge for a quark - this links
                                the gravitational effect of a particle

                                posits the notion that space(-time) has
                                a 'texture' (also explaining its
                                'stiffness' and the 'curvature of

                                so to speak, of an electromagnetic field

                                explanation for every aspect of the
                                Equivalence Principle as included in
                                GR.  There's also the strong implication
                                that the gravity waves recently detected
                                are themselves electromagnetic
                                constructs (since the fabric of
