- 128 -classical relativlstlc expression for electrodynamlc pot:ential,namely equation (L).Horeover, we are alerted to the possibility that only particlescapable <strong>of</strong> exhibiting the pair creation and annihilation propertiescan possibly be effective in the electrodynaraic sense. Yet theformal theory <strong>of</strong> relativity fails to make any distinction on thisscore, owing to its empirical dependence upon electroninteractions.It is submitted, therefore, that the best <strong>way</strong> <strong>of</strong> approaching thephysical interpretation <strong>of</strong> relativity theory is to continue to posenew questions that can be tested experimentally. Acceptance <strong>of</strong> thetheory <strong>of</strong> relativity forces us to accept that protons, for example,must migrate by involving charge pair creation and annihilation.If that is feasible to the nuclear physicist, then relativity canhold up. Otherwise there is a problem. ^ vEvenso the author confesses unease about interpreting therelevant electromagnetic reference frame as that in which particlepair creation and annihilation occur, bearing in mind thatrelativity requires this frame to be that <strong>of</strong> the chosen observer.Whether or not particles exist and where they happen to be seems aquestion <strong>of</strong> fact rather than illusion dependent upon the mobileobserver. This is one <strong>of</strong> the open Issues left for resolutionelsewhere.<strong>The</strong> relativlstlc increase in mass Is believed to occur as afunction <strong>of</strong> motion relative to the 'observer*, but the experimentalevidence only relates to isolated charged particles (not evenatoms) in motion relative to an electromagnetic frame <strong>of</strong> referencethat is usually that <strong>of</strong> the accelerating apparatus. <strong>The</strong> questionthat arises here is whether the Earth or planet Mercury experienceany variation <strong>of</strong> mass owing to their variable speed in ellipticalorbit around the sun. <strong>The</strong> change in mass need not affect the forcebalance as between gravitational action and centrifugal effects.
