But that does not prove (test) the proposition that the apparent mass increase at high velocities is caused by EM effects and not just the increase in velocity. The problem is that AFAIK no chemical reaction has propelled a mass to the velocities necessary for the mass increase to be detected. Thus the stuatement is true --- no experimental evidence --- but because the necessary experiment probably cannot be performed on Earth. Mike Carrell > > Cheers > > Grimer > > >
