Hi all

I just read Hestenes paper
He has a massless electron which rotates about a fixed point at the speed of light . (look at eqns 8 9 10 and fig 1)
I wonder if this is in the standard model or beyond?
What is the lagragian of this "zitter" model?

Merry Christmas,

I think I found part of the answer to my question in
http://geocalc.clas.asu.edu/pdf/SnarkPaper.pp.pdf

Look at "Reconciling ZPM with quantum mechanics" (chapter 7)
He has to change Schrödinger equation.
Hestenes followed the teaching of Feynman
