Resolution of the Classical Photon Mass–Energy Paradox in CRVD
Abstract
By carefully distinguishing between the field energy, mechanical energy, and the Poynting flux, and by employing the symmetric (Belinfante–Rleb) form of the electromagnetic stress–energy tensor together with the appropriate boundary conditions at infinity, the paradox is resolved
