Electromagnetic scoot

Recent work on scattering of massive bodies in general relativity has revealed that the mechanical center mass system (or, more precisely, its relativistic moment) undergoes a shift during process. We show same phenomenon occurs classical charged particles flat spacetime and study effect detail. Working to leading order interaction, we derive formulas for initial final values electromagnetic energy, momentum, angular moment. demonstrate change moment is balanced by an opposite stored field. This non-radiative exchange between field, analogous kinetic potential energy. A simple analogy person scooting forward floor, who exchanges with floor. therefore say results scoot.
