Kinetic Mass

Authors: Espen Gaarder Haug

In this short note, we introduce the concept of kinetic mass. We have kinetic energy, but in standard theory there is only relativistic mass, and no kinetic mass. However, we think that kinetic mass is a useful addition to our physics toolbox. In our view, the kinetic mass is no less real than momentum, for example. In fact, it is arguably even more “real” than the concept of momentum, as we will discuss. Further, kinetic mass can be used to make wave equations with an operator on kinetic mass rather than on the momentum, as recently shown by Haug.
