Incorrect. A particle has mass, and cannot attain light speed.

Should have said "charged particle" rather than "particle".

What do you think. Is the electron a charged particle?

Maxwell assumed that the electricity is massles and incompressible.
He would be right if the electron is a charged particle.

have you ever measured the charge on an electron? that is a standard
college physics lab experiment, measure charge and mass and compare to
text book values. a very simple experiment actually, look up the
millikan oil drop experiment and give it a try. maybe you could get
together with art and go through a few of those simple experiments to
gain a better understanding of basic physics.

Almost all Authors of tekstbooks write that it was a big mistake of Maxwell
when he assumed that electricity is massles and incompressible. They wrote
it after discovery of electron.

Now we assume that the electron gas is the electricity.
What do you think. Is the electron a charged particle or pure electricity?
