It doesn't change anything in nature, but I agree here too.upriver wrote:I agree. Its the field that jiggles the electron but the work is done by the force generated by the field.
I would more specifically say that electrons transfer kinetic energy, actually the field carries the kinetic energy and work (force) is expressed by its interaction with mass...
Antimatter is truly bullshit, but if you claim something as bullshit, it's just practical to be able to tell why it is;
This is caused by the 2/1 ratio for "Field" / "kinetic" Strength.
As if this ratio is believed to be 1/1, as it's stated with ie E=mc^2, you need to have antimatter to "annihilate" the extra 1 of these "2". Or other vice your math doesn't agree with the experiment.
If we just leave the mass away, and define the physics through Froude-number, this all comes more simple.
To conclude this; "antimatter" is bullshit, but to keep the equations in balance, you need to find and remove the the "bullshit" from both sides. And Mass is the "bullshit" on the other side. Actually this shit is present all over in physics.
I also agree with the statement that "Electrons transfers kinetic energy".
Actually I even agree with the statement "interactions with mass", I just want to point out that there is no universal mass which can be measured as "Kilograms" in the Universum. But As I understand what you mean with the word "mass" here, I still can agree with you.
