Abstract

Along with all other quantum objects, an electron is partly a wave and partly a particle. The corpuscular properties of a particle are demonstrated when it is shown to have a localized position in space along its trajectory at any given moment. When an electron looks more like a particle it has no shape, “point particle”, according to the Standard Model, meaning that it interacts as if it is entirely located at a single point in space and does not spread out to fill a three-dimensional volume. Therefore, in the sense of particle-like interactions, an electron has no shape. In this paper, a new theory is proposed in which the electron has a structure and a shape. The central idea is that an electron is a frictionless vortex with conserved momentum made out of condensed vacuum generated in the Big Bang from massless virtual photons that acquire mass when moving in the vortex at the speed of light. Using Hydrodynamics laws and applying them on the superfluid vacuum the basic properties of the electron are described here forth. This study provides mathematical models to calculate the mass, kinetic energy, density, volume, time, charge, and particle-wave duality. Such mathematical formulations are presented to confirm the theory. We conclude that the shape of the electron is accessible to human imagination, knowing its shape helps to determine its properties and shed a light on how matter is made and to explain the interactions of sub-atomic particles.

Highlights

  • The central idea is that an electron is a frictionless vortex with conserved momentum made out of condensed vacuum generated in the Big Bang from massless virtual photons that acquire mass when moving in the vortex at the speed of light

  • An electron looks like a particle when it interacts with other objects in certain ways and is not point-like, as stated by quantum mechanics

  • The fundamental blocks of matter are continuous fluid-like substances known as “quantum fields” that permeate the whole space around us

Summary

Introduction

The electron is a fundamental particle of nature, is the essential constituent of electric currents, and together with protons and neutrons, is the most important. There is no theory that quantifies particles in a meaningful way using appropriate calculations This implies that quantum mechanics have no need for a particle as a concept because all the calculations are similar whether or not hard particles exist. The Standard Model predicts that particles surrounding electrons do affect an electron’s shape, and according to this framework, the electron should be close to perfectly spherical. At such an infinitesimal scale as to be pretty much undetectable using existing technology. This theory predicts that the electron has a more distorted shape than that suggested by the Standard Model. Hydrodynamic formulas are provided to calculate its mass, density, volume, time, constant angular momentum (spin), and electric charge
