    <p>Yes of course if you agree that the world is made of particles
      and that all identified "properties" must be attached to their
      center points then you would dismiss any other possibility</p>
    <p>But we are now talking not about what is "known truth" but
      whether some of those known truths are in fact the best way to
      interpret our observable experiences. There are quite obviously
      many situations where the charge centers move relative to the mass
      when looking at large aggregation just consider a dipole antenna
      obviously large charges move up and down but the mass center stays
      pretty well stable.</p>
    <p>Bohr and most nuclear physics id based upon the assumption that
      all properties are attached to point particles is this correct?</p>
    <p>Scattering experiments have shown the shape of elemetary
      particles are not all perfect spheres. <br>
    </p>
    <p>We ave two major force categories dominating the macroscopic
      world electricity-magnetism and gravity-inertia each domain has a
      set of well developed descriptive equations , but the simple
      connection between the two is a straight forward guess.</p>
    <p>                The Lorenz force Fl is simply equated to the
      acceleration     Fl = ma but we never measure the position of a
      mass we always measure the position of a charge configuration . We
      cannot see or feel a mass all we see and feel is the electric
      coulomb repulsion between the surface electrons of our hand and
      the surface electrons of the objects we hold. <br>
    </p>
    <p>There the mystery starts, you can paper over it with a fiat, or
      you can ask why?</p>
    <p>You can apply the rules we have discovered to work in the past or
      you can look for new discoveries in the future <br>
    </p>
    <p>What group  do you want to belong to?</p>
    <p>best wishes <br>
    </p>
    <p>The question puzzling me on the Bohr atom case is not that
      Somerfeld's adjustments can occur, but if there are adjustments
      why do they not apply to shift the lines all together from the
      single theoretical prediction, why is there a hyperfine structure
      in the spectral lines?</p>

                        object, to be 'held' to anything else, they are
                        both effects.  There seems little doubt that
                        both of those effects are artefacts of the

                    <div><font size="2" face="Arial" color="#000080">It's
                        very simply shown that if a particle is moving

                        the way described (without explanation) in SR -
                        this is fully apparent from the Relativistic
                        Energy-Momentum Relation; this is inertial mass,
                        the requirement for that additional energy to
                        maintain the structural integrity of the
                        particle.  Likewise it's totally apparent from
                        interference effects demonstrated in respect of
                        massive particles that charge also must be an
                        artefact of that formative energy.  So the very

                          [General] What holds mass and charge together</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <p>Chandra and Albrecht:</p>
                        <p>I fully agree with the Plato's shadow analogy
                          and the realization that we have been building
                          a physics that explains the shadows  not the
                          reality is very clear. But that involves 
                          giving up the notion of a fixed objective
                          reality and moving toward a n acknowledgement
                          of a Kantian unknowable about which we make
                          models that express our best guess and judge
                          them based on success.</p>
                        <p>It involves returning to simple examples and
                          testing the logic of our assumptions. Toward
                          this end I have returned to the old simple
                          experimants the utilize the concept of mass
                          and charge as the most understandable
                          properties of matter. One of the central
                          assumptions in physics is that of a point
                          particle which places all properties of the
                          particle and specifically the source and sink
                          of mass and charge centers at a co-located
                          point.</p>
                        <p>So I ask what holds charge and mass together?
                          what kind of physics would we have if there
                          were a force Fcm and Fmc between charge and
                          mass and mass and charge.</p>
