X Abstract

In this paper it is shown that the forces which resist the acceleration of $m_e$, arising from the Compton effect, the Klein-Nishima-Kann formula for its differential cross section and the transversal Doppler effect when the electron moves in a straight line at any constant acceleration, are equal to the force required to propel $m_e$ with the same acceleration, if the radius of the electron is equal to its classical radius and if the forces which rise from the interaction of the electron and zero-point radiation are equal to those deriving from the electrostatic repulsion of the charge or the electron against itself (Poincaré's tensions). If both this conclusion and the final one on paper [3] are true, there cannot exist any difference between inertial mass and gravitational mass, because both of them are consequences of the Compton effect and the Klein-Nishima-Kann formula.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
