ZPF, Zitterbewegung and Inertial Mass

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the Zero Point Field causes oscillatory motion, identified as zitterbewegung, which is the fundamental origin of inertial mass.

Contribution

It introduces a novel explanation linking Zero Point Field-induced zitterbewegung to the origin of inertial mass.

Findings

Zero Point Field induces oscillatory motion.

Zitterbewegung is identified as the origin of inertial mass.

Theoretical deduction connecting quantum vacuum effects to mass.

Abstract

In this paper, we argue that the background Zero Point Field, induces an oscillatory motion which we identify with zitterbewegung. We deduce that this is the origin of inertial mass
