Hi Chip,

I shall answer with some comments in the text.

My "basic particles" have electrical charge as the electron has it. They 
permanently move with speed of light c which is required by SR, 
dilation. And they are mass-less as otherwise c is not possible. There 
have to be two of them in an elementary particle as otherwise the law of 
momentum is violated, which is (one of) the most fundamental laws in 
physics. The introduction of the "zitterbewegung" by Schrödinger is a 
consequence of this necessity. More assumptions are not necessary. - 
What is in your view unnatural with theses assumptions?

I am discussing every property of this model at many conferences here 
and abroad (about twice a year) since 2001. There are always many 
questions and arguments. But the repeated argument in this discussion 
here that my assumption are to some extent arbitrary I have never heard 
before (at least I do not remember it). The audience is growing from 
case to case, so there is some appreciation that it is substantial. But 
of course I am always open for critical questions. Also in this forum as 
you may have noticed.

I have worked for a research centre where those investigations have been 
made very carefully. It is the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in 
Hamburg. I know the investigations and the arguments. The conclusion of 
the investigations was indeed that the electron is not composite. But 
the evaluation of the experiments has pre-assumed (as a matter of 
course) that, if the electron is composed, then the constituents have a 
mass on their own. The other possibility that the constituents are 
mass-less was never considered. Because that requires a mechanism for 
the generation of mass within a  particle. According to the adherence to 
the Higgs model main stream physics have not looked at this possibility. 
The constituents in my model are mass-less, so the conclusion made is 
not applicable. That was even admitted by the research director of this 
centre.

The very small size assumed for the electron was also here understood as 
the size of the electric charge in it, not of the entire particle. That 
was even admitted by main stream.

I do not see an explanation of particle properties in the other models 
presented here. All the models, as far as I understand, assume the 
electron to be built by a photon, and the properties of the photon 
(which are by themselves unexplained but simply believed) are taken over 
for the electron. This is in my view in no way a true explanation. My 
explanations are from the scratch. If you disagree to this please tell 
your arguments.

I regret if you do not want to further participate in this part of the 
discussion, but it is of  course you own decision.
