Abstract

It is argued here that all the mass in the world is of electromagnetic origin and that this must be described by the short-range fields of Set 2 Maxwell's equations. In support of this argument, the work-energy theorem and the work-potential energy theorem from mechanics are applied to classical electrodynamics. The forms so derived aid in recognizing the particle properties momentum and kinetic energy in both ?force-field? and potential forms. One disconcerting conclusion is that both mass and charge densities must always travel at c; as a consequence, a rest particle must spin.
