Aug 30, 2019 at 15:26 comment added Sidharth Ghoshal @Larry Harson, does the EM pulse have a definite mass? I believe I read somewhere that photons are massless and therefore don’t contribute to the center of mass.
Sep 9, 2018 at 12:29 comment added physicsguy19 @Count Iblis, isn't the formula P=E/c a result we get by playing with mc^2 already? It does not look right to use it for proof of mc^2 to me..
Feb 15, 2018 at 21:19 comment added Larry Harson I'm lost here. The center of mass is also determined by the position of the EM pulse which, if you take it into account, means the center of mass of the whole system doesn't shift at all. Are the masses attached to the ends of the box, or free to move inside it?
