The Origin of Mass — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

The origin of the particle mass is one of the paramount problems in present physics. The search for Higgs Bosons - without success yet - is an attempt of a solution.

However, we find a working solution with quantitatively correct results, if we use the Basic Particle Model of elementary particles, which is a completion of Schrödinger`s detection of the `Zitterbewegung` (1930). The inertia is not in the particles themselves but in the field which binds the basic particles within an elementary particle.

Two particles bound to each other so that a specific distance is maintained build an inertial system, even if the particles do not have any mass at all. This is because the binding field propagates at the finite speed of light `c`; so at the acceleration of one particle, the other one follows with a delay. This requires a force to perform the acceleration.

The relativistic increase of a mass at motion and Einstein`s energy-mass relation follow in an elementary way. As further consequences we get a physical understanding of Planck`s constant `h` and the fine structure constant `alpha`.
