A cornerstone of physics, Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, apparently contains a fatal flaw. The standard expressions for the electromagnetic field energy and self-mass of an electron of finite extension do not obey Einstein's famous…

We discuss here the famous paradox of a continuous power drainage from the source at the input of an otherwise lossless infinite transmission line. The solution of the paradox lies in the realization that in an open-circuit finite…
Photon emission from a uniformly accelerated charge is among the most mysterious physical phenomena. Theories based on the Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation mostly conclude that a uniformly accelerated point charge cannot feel radiation…
We study the energy shift and the Casimir-Polder force of an atom out of thermal equilibrium near the surface of a dielectric substrate. We first generalize, adopting the local source hypothesis, the formalism proposed by Dalibard,…
General relativity and its extensions including torsion identify stress energy momentum as being proportional to the Einstein tensor, thus ensuring both symmetry and conservation. Here we visualize stress energy and momentum by identifying…
We review and compare two different approaches to radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics of point charges: a local calculation of the self-force using the charge equation of motion and a global calculation consisting in integration…
The expansion of the universe has been accepted by scientists for more than a century. However, since the 1990s, observations have suggested that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Although the source of this acceleration is…
It has been known for over 100 years that there is a discrepancy between Maxwell's electrodynamics and the idea of a classical electron as the ``atom'' of electricity. This incompatibility is known under the terms 4/3 problem of the…
In classical electrodynamics, an accelerating charged body emits radiation and experiences a corresponding radiation-reaction force, or self force. We extend to higher order in the total charge a previous rigorous derivation of the…

For smooth solutions to Maxwell's equations sourced by a smooth charge-current distribution $j_a$ in stationary, asymptotically flat spacetimes, one can prove an energy conservation theorem which asserts the vanishing of the sum of (i) the…

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…

The self force of electrodynamics is derived from a scalar field. The resulting equation of motion is free of all of the problems that plague the Lorentz Abraham Dirac equation. The age-old problem of a particle in a constant field is…
