Abstract
The existence of a relativistic mechanical internal momentum in a motionless system seems to contradict basic notions of momentum conservation. In the present paper, this "hidden momentum" is analyzed in various systems and the requirements for its existence are identified. A mathematical formulation of "hidden momentum" is presented through the use of continuous symmetries and its occurrence is put into context of locally conserved currents and conserved charges.
