The Dirac Electron and Elementary Interactions: The Gyromagnetic Factor, Fine-Structure Constant, and Gravitational Invariant: Deviations from Whole Numbers

Abstract

In previous papers, we revisited the Dirac equation and conjectured that the electron can be viewed as a massless charge spinning at light speed, this internal motion being responsible for the rest mass involved in external motions and interactions. Implications of this concept on basic properties such as time, space, electric charge, and magnetic moment were considered. The present paper investigates the deviations of the resulting gyromagnetic factor, fine-structure constant, and gravitational invariant from their integer approximates, and their implication in a better understanding of the electromagnetic, gravitational, and other interactions.
