The physical property of mass has two distinct aspects, gravitational mass and inertial mass. The weight of a particle depends on its gravitational mass. According to the weak form of the equivalence principle, the gravitational and…
Concept of inertial mass is not well defined in physics. For defining inertial mass of a particle we need to know its acceleration under some force in an inertial reference frame, which itself is defined by the motion of its background…
It is shown that the electron Zitterbewegung, that is, the high-frequency microscopic oscillatory motion of electron about its centre of mass, originates a spatial distribution of charge. This allows the point-like electron behave like a…
An experiment is proposed which can distinguish between two approaches to the reality of the electric field, and whether it has mechanical properties such as mass and stress. A charged pendulum swings within the field of a much larger…
Stationary electromagnetic waves display aspects that are shared with massive particles, since the energy and momentum contained in a volume of sides equal to the wavelengths form a non-zero energy-momentum invariant. The parallel can be…
A charged particle subject to strong external forces will accelerate, and so radiate energy, inducing a self-force. This phenomenon remains contentious, but advances in laser technology mean we will soon encounter regimes where a more…
At gravitational interactions of bodies and particles there appears the defect of masses, i.e. the energy yields since the bodies (or particles) are attracted. It is shown that this changing of the effective mass of the body (or the…
When two particles interact primarily through gravity and follow the laws of quantum mechanics, the generation of entanglement is considered a hallmark of the quantum nature of the gravitational interaction. However, we demonstrate that…
An atom moving in a vacuum at constant velocity and parallel to a surface experiences a frictional force induced by the dissipative interaction with the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. We show that the combination of…
At electromagnetic interactions of particles there arises defect of masses, i.e. the energy is liberated since the particles of the different charges are attracted. It is shown that this change of the effective mass of a particle in the…
In relativistic dynamics, force and acceleration are no longer parallel. In this article, we revisit the relativistic motion of a particle under the action of a constant force, $\boldsymbol{f}$. \ For a two-dimensional motion, the final…
The force in the equation of motion of a particle should be in accordance with energy conservation in a constant gravitational field. It turns out that this is possible only if the force is given by the change of momentum per unit of…
A classical particle oscillating in an arbitrary high-frequency or static field effectively exhibits a modified rest mass m_eff derived from the particle averaged Lagrangian. Relativistic ponderomotive and diamagnetic forces, as well as…
We discuss the motion of neutral and charged particles in a plane electro-magnetic wave and its accompanying gravitational field.
After a preliminary discussion of the relevance of the field nature of gravitation interaction, both for the fundamental interaction of particles and the topology of space time, a method is proposed to produce and detect a dynamical…
A system of two initially homogeneous, physically real fields uniformly attracted to each other is considered as the simplest basis of the self-developing world structure. It is shown that the system is unstable against periodic cycles of…
The wave function $\psi$ is interpreted as charge density, or charge distribution, at each point in space. This is a physical interpretation of $\psi$. The notion of speed can be associated with $\psi$, which leads to the concept of…

It is well-known that energy-momentum is the source of gravitational field. For a long time, it is generally believed that only stars with huge masses can generate strong gravitational field. Based on the unified theory of gravitational…
General relativity describes the gravitational field geometrically and in a self-interacting way because it couples to all forms of energy, including its own. Both features make finding a quantum theory difficult, yet it is important in the…
