7.4 Draft Thesis Statements.

Problem: Is the Lorentz Law of Force incompatible with Special Relativity and Momentum of Conservation, and should it be abandoned?

1.  In "Trouble with the Lorentz Law of Force: Incompatibility with Special Relativity and Momentum Conservation," author Masud Mansuripur claims that the Lorentz Law of Force is incompatible with Special Relativity and Momentum of Conservation and therefore should it be abandoned and adopt the Einstein-Laub force formula to resolve "hidden" momentum issues.
2. Masud Mansuripur's paper, "Trouble with the Lorentz Law of Force: Incompatibility with Special Relativity and Momentum Conservation," suggests adopting a solution first presented by Einstein-Laub in 1908 and gives mathematically sound examples that resolve the issue of "hidden" momentum.
3. Mansuripur's research in physical optics has lead to resolving the issue of "hidden" momentum by utilizing the Einstein-Laub force formula, which he suggests using over the classical Lorentz force formula, due to his observations of incompatibility with Special Relativity and Momentum of Conservation experiments.

I believe that the most difficult part of my thesis is being clear on the solution for the problem. It will be difficult to develop this project because I am barely learning how to use the equations he is suggesting.
