“…Dirac, in his relativistic theory of the electron encountered the zitterbewegung effects within the Compton scale [4] and he had to invoke averages over this scale to recover meaningful results. We on the other hand have shown elsewhere, without invoking the ZPF [5] how spin follows, that is we get ( 2) and (3) using zitterbewegung conclusions. We would next like to show that the ZPF leads to the mass, that is, inertial mass of a particle.…”

“…The genesis of Special Relativity too can be found in the Weiner process (Cf.ref. [5] for a detailed discussion). Let us examine this more closely.…”
In this paper, we argue that the background Zero Point Field, induces an oscillatory motion which we identify with zitterbewegung. We deduce that this is the origin of inertial mass.

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.
