Your point is merely theoretical. > My evidence is experimental. Correct, merely experimental. It stands falsified by a reliable theory. FYI, the Maxwell-Lorentz equations as they stand do conserve energy-momentum. If you want to be taken seriously it is up to you to tell the world what is wrong with Maxwell-Lorentz, and how these equations must be modified. As long as you can't do that you are merely an incompetent tinkerer, Jan -- "No experimental result should be believed until it has been confirmed by a reliable theory" (Arthur Eddington)
