The Electron Model and Nature's Constants

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper recaps our electron model – including our explanation of the anomaly – and offers some reflections on Nature’s fundamental constants. We will also present a theoretical explanation of the radius of the Zitterbewegung charge – aka the classical electron radius – using an electromagnetic mass calculation. While, in the previous version of the paper, we limited ourselves to a classical (non-mainstream) explanation of Schwinger’s α/2π factor, we also offer some reflections on a possible explanation of the higher-order factors in the anomaly of the magnetic moment of an electron. Finally, we offer some reflections on the distinction between the spin and orbital angular momentum of an electron.
