Charge, from EM fields only

Previously we conjectured that extremely high Electromagnetic (EM) fields in a vacuum generate a gravitational field that causes Maxwell's equations to no longer be linear. This results in a "4-force" in the field configuration space, also called "four-current density". Based on the 4-current density, we postulate that the electric charge is the result of a high EM field. Considering the electrostatic potential with central symmetry and with the assumption that it cannot exce...

It is shown that the electron Zitterbewegung, that is, the high-frequency microscopic oscillatory motion of electron about its centre of mass, originates a spatial distribution of charge. This allows the point-like electron behave like a particle of definite size whose self-energy, that is, energy of its electromagnetic field, owns a finite value. This has implications for the electron mass, which, in principle, might be derived from Zitterbewegung physics.

A method for quantization of the proton mass is here addressed, which provides a plausible explanation for the origin of mass and leads to the unification of mass and electric charge through their coupling. By means of an electromagnetic approach, the calculated mass of the proton closely approximates its experimental value and does so with dependence on a single parameter. That is to say, the proposed fundamental system provides a way to comprehend the source of mass as a pr...

In this paper the existence of the Higgs field is taken as an undeniable starting point. However, the origin of the field is challenged. Rather than ascribing the origin of it to a yet undiscovered phantom particle, the origin is ascribed directly to electromagnetic energy, in particular as magnetic charge next to electric charge of elementary pointlike particles. To this end two instruments are used. The first one is the transform of the Higgs field from a functional descrip...

Advances in gauge theories and unified theories have not thrown light on the meaning of electron. The problem of the origin of electronic charge is made precise, new insights gained from Weyl space are summarized, and the origin of charge in terms of fractional spin is suggested. New perspective on the abelian Chern-Simons theory is presented to explain charge.

This paper deals with QED-particles and the interaction between them on a classical level. The Maxwell-equations are used mainly. (Proofs are not used in a mathematical but intuitive sense.) In the first step the main statements are presented. The corresponding proofs are given in the second and final step. Main statements: I. An electron/positron is a sink/source of electromagnetic scalar quanta. II. These electromagnetic scalar field quanta should clearly be identified wi...

Quantum theory claims that electron is pointlike and structureless. Contrary, the consistent with Gravity Kerr-Newman (KN) electron model displays an extended structure of the Compton size $r_c=\hbar /m .$ We obtain that there is no real conflict between the extended Gravitating electron and a Quantum electron "dressed" by virtual particles. In the same time the KN model indicates new important details of the electron structure and sheds new light on some old puzzles of quant...

The axiomatic structure of the electromagnetic theory is outlined. We will base classical electrodynamics on (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the Lorentz force, (3) magnetic flux conservation, and (4) on the Maxwell-Lorentz spacetime relations. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn, inter alia, for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magnetic fields.

A simple real-space model for the electron wavefunction is suggested, based on a transverse wave with helicity, rotating at mc^2/h. The mapping of the real two-dimensional vector phasor to the complex plane permits this to satisfy the standard time-dependent Schroedinger equation. This model is extended to provide an intuitive physical picture of electron spin. Implications of this model are discussed.

A direct definition of the intrinsic magnetic moment of the electron is given, which does not use infrared regularizations and interactions with external fields. The expression does not depend on the unavoidable ambiguities of the definition of a 1-electron state (exact form of its soft photon cloud). The method leads to the same analytic expression as the conventional approach, thus preserving the excellent agreement between theory and experiment.
