That is the gravitational mass (that energy that warps space) is not part of "E". So the interpretation of mc^2 is as the container of inertial energy like a jar contains a volume of water.

Which yields a spin angular momentum of ½ hbar (L = r p).</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">So that when accelerated the situation is as follows:</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">E = E<sub>0</sub> gamma, p = (E<sub>0</sub> gamma)/c, r = r = (c h)/(4pi E<sub>0</sub> gamma), L = r p. Where E<sub>0</sub> is the rest energy of the electron.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">This situation always yields a spin angular momentum of ½ hbar at any velocity < c. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">The momentum of the mass of the electron is p = m v, and the internal mass of the electron is increased with velocity m = m<sub>0</sub> gamma, so that the relativistic momentum of mass is p = m<sub>0</sub> gamma v.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">If we could accelerate this electron to the velocity c, the momentum component L/r would exactly equal the forward momentum component p=mv. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">This seems to be the same situation we find in photons. Where the total momentum is sqrt(2) (E/c) and the (transverse) spin angular momentum component for a photon is assumed (by me) to be L = r (E/c). </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Please see PHOTON in Wikipedia… <i>“The photon also carries a quantity called spin angular momentum that does not depend on its frequency. The magnitude of its spin is sqrt(2) hbar and the component measured along its direction of motion, its helicity, must be ±ħ.”</i></span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">So there is a hint here that the internal wavefront velocity of a photon is sqrt(2) c?

Whether that energy is in the form of light or confined in particles of matter. For if we can show exactly how it is that momentum is a fundamental feature of energy, as it moves in space, we then have specifically identified and understood the source for inertial mass. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">This may help us refine our models. I think that it will help us understand Planck’s quantization of action and its causes as well. This research has already helped me understand how light can have both spin and orbital angular momentum, and it may well lead to a better grasp of other basic principles.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Other reasons for looking into this in detail, are to better understand the correct set of wave equations, and spin. To understand the causes for what we observe. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">I agree that a transfer of energy must implicitly also transfer momentum. Momentum is a measureable result of energy. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">But to me E=hf means that more energetic waves or particles are smaller. If that is correct then there is a cause. Probably the simplest explanation is that space has an inherent opposition to displacement, which creates this force Fc I have been discussing. That is nice, simply because this force is also perfectly suited to cause confinement, not only of waves in space, but also of elementary fermions. </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">So if we can explore this possibility further, and create wave equations for waves which would be caused by the displacement and this opposing force, complete with momentum and all the other measurables, then we may have foundations upon which we can model everything.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">I do not think that wave interference is sufficient to cause confinement. I have studied waves in great detail and still find that more than self-interference is required for confinement of waves into soliton (circularly or spherically confined) solutions. So for me, it seems that this equal and opposite reaction of space to the displacement caused by energy is the only logical path to explore.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">It is my hope (and intuition) that this path will lead to understanding the mass formation thresholds for electrons so that we might know why the electron’s rest mass is the specific value we measure.</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;">Chip</span></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;"> </span></div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", sans-serif;"> General [<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org">mailto:general-bounces+chipakins=gmail.com@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dr Grahame Blackwell<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 22, 2017 5:40 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Nature of Light and Particles - General Discussion' <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:general@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:general@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org">general@lists.natureoflightandparticles.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [General] light and particles group</span></div></div></div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"> </div><div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial", sans-serif;color:navy;">Hi Chip,</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial", sans-serif;color:navy;">I got a working copy, thanks.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"> </div></div><div><div class="yiv3145815988MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial", sans-serif;color:navy;">I see that of course you're going into far more intricate details mathematically than I was looking at.
