Abstract

The light complex introduced by A. Einstein in his first relativity paper has the characteristics of a provisional concept and was soon abandoned. Nevertheless, it was crucial for Einstein's derivation of the equivalence of mass and energy. The discussion of various forms of the light complex strictly within Maxwell's electrodynamics leads to interesting insight.
