Feb 28, 2019 at 10:02 comment added pranjal verma @Philipp But in wave mechanics electron is not supposed to be object so why are we assuming electron to behave as a planet and spin?

Feb 16, 2016 at 20:29 comment added Philipp @gsurfer04 Could you elaborate on what you mean by your second sentence, because the part "the energies associated with it are not" needs more explanation. If you are talking about rest mass, which indeed would be a constant, then your argument is correct. I know that the whole argument that mass increases with speed is not the most correct way of expressing what happens as the term mass used here is not identical with the rest mass but I didn't want to dive into that discussion in my answer. Thanks for raising awareness of this issue.
Feb 16, 2016 at 19:46 comment added gsurfer04 Please don't refer to relativistic mass. Mass is invariant, the energies associated with it are not.
