You might look at this paper as well; I've mentioned it many moons ago.
Polarizable vacuum analysis of electric and magnetic fields, Xing-Hao Ye http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.1305v2 Abstract The electric and magnetic fields are investigated on the basis of quantum vacuum. The analysis of the electromagnetic energy and force indicates that an electric field is a polarized distribution of the vacuum virtual dipoles, and that a magnetic field in vacuum is a rearrangement of the vacuum polarization. It means that an electromagnetic wave is a successional changing of the vacuum polarization in space. Also, it is found that the average half length of the virtual dipoles around an elementary charge is a=2.8 *10^(-15)m. The result leads to the step distribution of the field energy around an electron, the relation between the fine structure constant and the vacuum polarization distribution, and an extremely high energy density of the electromagnetic field. Finally, Anyone who has seen the mag-field-lines in iron filings has to at least wonder if this is an obvious manifestation of the polarization discussed in the above paper. 'Fields' are not just convenient mathematical constructs, but a real physical phenomenon which directly influences matter. The scientist in me then wonders if the iron filings are following a polarization of atoms in the air??? But I would bet that you would see the same thing if done in a vacuum. -Mark Iverson From: John Berry [mailto:berry.joh...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2014 1:02 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Electromagnetic inertia Yes, when beliefs are challenged, most scientists end up acting more like religious types. To explain my idea most simply, it is magnetic hysteresis like drag of space due to the speed of light limit. Only it requires acceleration. Secondly I have found scientific papers claim that the near-field around a dipole transmits instantaneously within the quarter wave length. I can find it if anyone is interested.

I've visited Dr. Rueda several times at his office, Cal State Long Beach, which is where I did my undergrad work. Their first paper on this topic was: B. Haisch, A. Rueda and H.E. Puthoff, Phys. Rev A 48 (1994) 678 It derived the formula for inertia, F=ma, from the zero-point field; F=ma was a fundamental equation not thought to be derivable. Comments from the peer-reviewers went something like this: "Well, I can't find any errors in your math, and the physics looks good. but it just can't be." Gee, that sure sounds like a scientist talking. NOT! It was Bernie Haisch's concept, but Dr. Rueda did all the math. and take a look at the 1994 paper and you'll get some idea of just what kind of mathematician Rueda is. it's like 40+ pages of mostly equations. Anyway, here's a reference for a followup paper they did in 2005: Gravity and the Quantum Vacuum Inertia Hypothesis Alfonso Rueda, Bernard Haisch (Submitted on 13 Apr 2005 (v1), last revised 15 Apr 2005 (this version, v3)) http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0504061v3 This caught my eye when scanning the conclusions: "(7) An experimental prediction has been made that the mass of the resonant electromagnetic zero-point field modes within a cavity should add to the mass of the cavity structure." -Mark Iverson From: fznidar...@aol.com [mailto:fznidar...@aol.com] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2014 7:44 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:Electromagnetic inertia I looked at this and came up with the source of electromagnetic inertia is the acceleration of an energy flow. http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/zpt/chapter7.html
