Is the energy of a static field always zero? Renormalization and Maxwell

›
In our blog we have put forth a hypothesis that the energy of a static electric field is zero. Only a dynamic field, e.g., an electromagneti...

The Minkowski & newtonian model: what is the inertia of a test mass inside a gravitational wave?

›
A basic principle of our Minkowski & newtonian model is that gravity is an ordinary force in the Minkowski geometry of spacetime. Gravit...

Gravitational waves and the self-force: can we describe the force with a metric?

›
UPDATE November 17, 2021: We removed the mention of gauge freedom. We added a section about frame dragging. ---- We believe that gravity is ...
