The Spinning Particle Model
A brief summary of the ideas exposed:
| • | The electron is a fundamental particle with spin. |
| • | The electron can be described as a Point Charge spinning around its Center of Mass, at the speed of light. |
| • | The mass is just a reflection of the Energy of the spinning charge.
|
| • | This model allows negative charges to “attract” each other at short distances
|
| • | Electrons can form stable “bound” states with spin=1, allowing boson condensates, like in superconductivity.
|
| • | Electrons have an internal frequency, associated to the spinning motion of the CC and which depends on the velocity of its CM. Therefore, a beam of electrons of the same velocity can show a wave behavior when interacting with a slit or a hole, thus producing a diffraction pattern.
|
| • | Matter are particles with some internal frequency and therefore an internal clock whose frequency depends on its CM velocity. |
| • | Spinning electrons can tunnel through potential barriers.
