The Dirac Electron: From Quantum Chemistry to Holistic Cosmology

The Dirac equation, which was derived by combining the relativistic invariance condition with the quantum probability principle, showed its fecundity by explaining the half‐integer spin of fermions and by predicting antiparticles. In previous papers, we conjectured that the spinning motion of the electron was that of a massless charge moving at light velocity, this internal motion being responsible for the electron rest mass involved in external motions and interactions. Implications of this concept on basic properties such as time, mass, electric charge, and magnetic moment were investigated. The present paper is a recollection of these ideas aimed at their possible impact on quantum chemistry and holistic cosmology.
