R. C. Jennison Collection: 16 Papers is a 2000 compilation edited by Thomas F Valone (Integrity Research Institute) gathering sixteen papers by the physicist and radio astronomer Roger C Jennison.
Overview
The collection assembles Jennison's papers on the nature of inertia and mass, centred on his work with phase-locked cavities. Jennison (with M. A. C. Drinkwater and others) showed that a standing electromagnetic wave trapped in a phase-locked resonator behaves as though it possesses rest mass and intrinsic inertia, and from this model he derived, on classical grounds, both Newton's second law (F = ma) and the mass–energy relation (E = mc²). The papers explore the implications of this "confinement of light" for the origin of inertia.
About the people
Roger Clifton Jennison (1922–2006) was a British radio astronomer (Jodrell Bank; later professor at the University of Kent) known for the discovery of the double structure of the radio source Cygnus A and for inventing the technique of closure phase in interferometry, and, later in his career, for his work on inertia and phase-locked cavities. Dr. Thomas F. Valone is president of the Integrity Research Institute.
