He replied:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">"You have given the standard classical calculation, which is off by a factor of 2. But note that classical physics assumes a constant charge to mass ratio. The zitter model requires separation of the center of charge from the center of mass, as discussed, for example, by Rivas <a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.3253" class="">http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.3253</a> "</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have also communicated with Martin Rivas about his separation-of-mass-and-charge electron model.
