Geometric model for fundamental particles
Abstract
An attempt is made to show that fundamental particles are manifestations of the geometry of space-time. This is done by demonstrating the existence of a purely geometrical model, which we have calledspherical rotation, that satisfies Dirac's equation. The model is developed and illustrated both mathematically and mechanically. It indicates that the mass of a particle is entirely due to the spinning of the space-time continuum. Using the model, we can show the distinction between spin-up and spin-down states and also between particle and antiparticle states. It satisfies Einstein's criteria for a model that has both wave and particle properties, and it does so without introducing a singularity into the continuum
