Re: MASS and EnergyPosted by dr_syed_ameen2000 on April 10, 2003 at 13:11:35: In Reply to: Re: MASS and Energy posted by davidmac on April 10, 2003 at 09:13:25: APRIL.10.2003 tHE PROBLEM IS THAT pHOTONS HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED SPIN = 1.The spin 1/2 for leptonic particle is conventional,arbitraryly accepted condition,whose origin lies in Fermi Dirac and Bose Einstein statistics,in conjunction with the Pauli exclusion principle.Velocity of light is actually not velocity of light but its origin is connected to magnetic and electric fields denoted by permeability,dielectric consta and refractive index,it so happened that the ratio of magnetic permeability to dielectric had the dimensions of TIME.In electrodynamics the accelerating charges transform to electromagnetic radiations(example: cyclotron,synchrotron,bevatron etc.etc.)Theoretically there is no limit ,how great an acceleration could be attained by accelerating charges,like electron or proton or positron etc,however Dr.Einstein's conclusions set up the so called relativistic velocity as the upper most limit.There are many ways to prove that entities faster than C can exist,solar neutrinos are not the only example.
