For the massless particles therer is no rest frame, but for the massive it seems like one make sense of the spin angular momentum and potential energy - like the potential energy is the energy associated with respect to some field, something that would be present in the particle's rest frame, and the spin is part present, when one moves to corotating frame. | |
