Been there, argued that, the mathematicians shot me down. It just don't
happen that way. Sorry Man.

"SED studies published in the 1990s showed that a massless
point-charge oscillator accelerating through the zero-point
field will experience a Lorentz force (from the magnetic
components of the zero-point fluctuations) that turns out to
be directly proportional to acceleration, ... This points to
the *electromagnetic quantum vacuum as the origin* of forces
which appear as *inertial mass*."
