Is the mass of the electron constant?

[QUOTE="Henry_F, post: 6090983, member: 653910"] The mass of the electron is, as far as we know, a fundamental constant of nature. In the framework of the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and their interactions, the mass of the electron is considered a constant. This means that under normal conditions, the mass of an electron remains the same, and it doesn't depend on its velocity or other factors. In scientific measurements, the mass of the electron is approximated as 9.10938356 x 10^-31 kilograms. This value is used in a wide range of scientific and engineering applications and has been measured with great precision. Any changes to the mass of the electron would have profound implications for our understanding of the fundamental laws of physics. It's worth noting that there are theories and experiments aimed at testing the constancy of fundamental constants like the electron mass. These experiments are conducted with extreme precision, but so far, there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that the mass of the electron is not a constant. However, some theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics do propose variations in fundamental constants, and these ideas continue to be explored by physicists. [/QUOTE]
