Vergon: You are right about the spherical wave structure of the electron (all fermions for that matter)but you are in error that there are only two waves. The frequncy of the electron is 1.235 x 10^20/sec. That means there are that many waves (matter waves) comprising the electron. Each oscillation is an exapanding and contracting sphere of *very* tenuous matter that moves at c to a maximum diameter of 1 light second, and contracts to *essentially* a point. The energy of expansion is 6.626 x 10^-27 erg (the energy of Planck's constant). The mass of the unit (I call it *the* quantum) is 7.372038 x 10^-48 gr. The energy x frequency = mc^2. The momentum of the expansion of one quantum is 7.372\-48 gr x c = 2.21\-37 gr cm -- and the momentum of the single quantum times the frequency = mc of the electron. The density of the electron diminishes as the fourth power of the distance from the center. There is no surface as this diminution carries to the maximum radius of 1/2 light second -- at which point the density is so little it can have no interaction. therefore, we assume an *effective* radius which is the distance from the center which contains the density that will intereact with its surroundings. This turns out to be 1.213\-10 cm. This agrees quite well with the radius of the resonant frequency in an electromagnetic cavity. There are two quantities of quanta that form a stable standing wave, one is the frequency of the electron, the other, the proton. All others are not resonant and decay quickly to the next stable quantity below -- or to radiation.(The exception is the neutron which is a combination electron/proton -- and stable in a nucleus but unstable when isolated.) These are the so-called sub atomic particles -- which are not elemental particles but just shards of stable particles smashed asunder. All this is part of my thesis entitled The Quantum as a Physical entity which I completed 5 years ago after 15 years work. One of the things it produced -- which I have displayed recently on this NG -- is the reason the charges on the electron and the proton are equal despite a great disparity in their masses. **** V.V.
