It has been shown that phase-locked cavities have a quantised transfer function (Jennison 1979) and that they account for the property of inertia (Jennison and Drinkwater 1977). The analysis in this paper shows that only half of the rest energy of a phase-locked cavity contributes actively to the inertial force. The moment of inertia of such a system about its own axis is only half that of a classical rigid body of the same total rest mass distributed in the same region of space. If a phase-locked cavity is used as a model of a fundamental particle then it is concluded that the particle is a fermion with a rest mass corresponding to its total rest energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
