[Vo]:Does a photon have rest mass - Inertia from a solenoid

2014-03-12 Thread John Berry
I was discussing elsewhere if a photon has mass, there are many reasons to argue that it does, it imparts a force as it is emitted, absorbed or reflected. A mirrored sphere would reflect light and if the sphere was accelerated the blue/red shifting of light should lead to unequal forces. If you

V2, negative inertial resistance - Pseudo negative mass. Take a pencil, and wind 2 coils around it a few mm apart, pass a DC current such that the coils attract each other. Next increase the size of the pencil until the distance between the 2 coils is about a light second apart that is one big
