I had this really random idea at lunch today - would it be possible to pull an electron apart? I know that it's a fundamental (point) particle and that most likely nothing is going to happen here, but do you think anything exotic could happen, if one were to suspend an electron between three pairs of very powerful (orthogonally oriented) magnets? Might the electron emit high frequency radiation?
I'm sure someone will quickly point out an obvious flaw with this idea, such as the inability of magnetic fields to 'do work'.
Thanks
