I have been working on a model of the universe based on the idea that the quantum vacuum is Planck length and Planck time vacuum fluctuations. This is a quantifiable starting assumption for a universal field which generates everything in the universe, including electrons. The attached paper draft titled <b>Single component model of the universe</b>, starts off by describing this basic building block. However, the second half of this paper tests this hypothesis by seeing if it can generate a model of an electron from the properties of the quantum vacuum. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> This model addresses electron properties generally not addressed in this group. For example, an electron’s de Broglie wave characteristics give key insights into the required physical properties of an electron model. Since this research generates equations for the properties of the quantum vacuum, it is possible use these equations to test whether the model generates the electron’s energy, inertia, electric field and gravitational field. This model generates numerous falsifiable predictions. Some of these predictions can be easily tested. Other predictions require further analysis or experiments.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> Besides the attached paper, there is a second attached PDF titled “Chapter 1 Appendix”. This is reference [19] in the paper. This reference is 2 pages out of a 400 page book. Therefore, it is easier to just attach this for this group. It contains several key calculations which form the basis of the electron model. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>John Macken<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-right:0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
