Zpf, Zitterbewegung and Inertial Mass

Abstract

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.

Zitterbewegung and a formulation for quantum mechanics

“…Interestingly, Hestenes [3,4] too sought to explain quantum mechanics through the phenomenon of zitterbewegung. Besides, the authors of this paper have also studied the aforesaid phenomenon quite extensively in the past few years [5,6,7,8,9,10]. However, in this paper we shall derive some interesting results that substantiate that the Compton scale and zitterbewegung can delineate several phenomena.…”

The zitterbewegung region

“…The phenomenon of zitterbewegung has been a subject of widespread interest since Schrodinger [1] proposed the said concept. Many authors [2,3,4] including the author Sidharth [5,6] have studied such a phenomenon extensively. Particularly, the affinity of the zitterbewegung and the Compton scale has been studied by Sidharth, where the Compton scale has been considered to be elementary rather than the Planck scale.…”
