Mass of Electron
There are 2 types of mass, invariant and relativistic mass. Invariant mass is also known as rest mass. Electrons have a rest mass because electrons can be at rest in all frames of reference. Photons have no rest mass because photons are always traveling at the speed of light in any frame of reference. The other type of mass is relativistic mass. All mass has relativistic mass whose value is dependent on a particular frame of reference. In the equation E=mc2, m is relativistic mass and can therefore have different values depending on the frame of reference of the observer. In fact, the equation E=mc2 is a specific case of a more general equation where the velocity of the mass is 0. The relativistic mass is related to the rest mass by the equation m = ym0, where y is the Lorentz Factor and relates mass to velocity. It is this equation that shows mass goes to infinity for accelerated matter approaching the speed of light. This means that accelerated matter gains spacial mass as it's speed approaches that of the speed of light. Since mass is composed of both spacial and temporal mass, then the added spacial mass of matter is accompanied by a proportional loss of the temporal mass of light. In other words, as matter is accelerated, the temporal mass of light converts to spacial mass of matter. It should be noted that there are 2 ways to convert the temporal mass of light to the spacial mass of matter. One way is the warping of space by an active mass, and the other way is the warping of space by an accelerated passive mass. An active mass that warps space has a velocity of 0, while an accelerated passive mass that warps space has a velocity approaching that of the speed of light. In an atom, when energy is absorbed by an electron, the spacial mass of the electron will convert to temporal mass, meaning a certain amount of the electrons matter will convert to light and enter a higher energy level orbit. This is because angular momentum L = mvr, where m is the relativistic mass of the electron, v is the velocity of the electron, and r is the radius of the energy level orbit. A higher energy level orbit increases the value of r, since energy levels increase as the orbits increase in distance from the nucleus of the atom. Angular momentum must be conserved, so if r increases and matter decreases by a proportional amount then v will remain constant. Therefore in an atom, electrons at low energy levels near the nucleus will have a higher amount of matter than electrons at high energy level orbits further from the nucleus. Aatucagg believes that electrons exhibit an increasing particle nature the closer they are to the nucleus of the atom, and electrons exhibit an increasing wave nature the further they are from the nucleus of the atom. The conversion of temporal mass to spacial mass as the electron falls to lower inner orbits of the atom produces photons. Some proof for this assumption may be found in the rotation of galaxies. According to current theory, the velocity of mass should decrease the further it is from the center of the galaxy, but what is observed is that the velocity of mass remains constant independent of the distance from the center of the galaxy. This behavior of galactic rotation is predicted by the Theory of Aatucagg, since it is mass itself and not the velocity of mass that decreases the further it is from the center of the galaxy. In this way, angular momentum is conserved by variations in mass and not velocity.
