“…As discussed in [1], electron mass calculated from the spin angular momentum S using classical equations is more than 100 times greater than experimentally observed mass. To resolve the mass inconsistency, the classical model of the electron is shown to require a spin rotation speed much greater than the speed of light or a radius much greater than the classical radius.…”

“…A similar inconsistency exits between the spin angular momentum derived from quantum theory [1] and the classical momentum calculated from spinning the electron mass [1]. The author proposed in [1] a classical model for resolving the magnetic dipole moment inconsistency. That same model is extended herein using classical physics equations to resolve the spin angular momentum inconsistency.…”

“…Reference [1] addresses the inconsistency between the electron charge q and the charge derived from the spin magnetic moment M. The model for the electron resolved the inconsistency by introducing into the model a charge of polarity opposite to the polarity of q. Similarly, it is proposed in this article to introduce into the model a mass m − having a negative mass to resolve the mass inconsistency.…”

“…Reference [1] addresses a great inconsistency between the measured electron spin magnet dipole moment and the moment calculated from spinning the electron charge. A similar inconsistency exits between the spin angular momentum derived from quantum theory [1] and the classical momentum calculated from spinning the electron mass [1].

In a previous publication, the author discussed the electron mass and charge inconsistencies resulting from classical models. A model was proposed using classical equations and two opposite charges to resolve the charge inconsistency. The model proposed in that article is modified herein using classical equations to define a model that also resolves the mass inconsistency. The positive mass of the outer shell of the electron core is replaced with a negative mass. The small negatively-charged core at the center still has positive mass.

The author's earlier papers proposed a model of the electron's internal structure comprised of both positive and negative masses and charges. Their relation to the fine structure constant α was calculated in the author's previous paper. In this paper, more details of the model of the electron's internal structure, in particular the thicknesses of its outer shell mass and charge, are calculated. Magnetostriction of the electron's surface is generated by the electron's spinning surface charge. It is calculated that this magnetostriction holds the electron together, counterbalancing the outward electrical and centrifugal forces. The results of these calculations enable the prediction that a sufficiently strong external magnetic field can split the electron into three equal pieces. The field strength would have to be on the order of at least 8% of the strength at the center of the electron. A model for the origin and creation of an electron from a gamma ray wave is proposed. Evidence is presented that, for certain transitions, mass might be quantized and that the quantum of mass would be 1 2α times the electron mass.

In previous publications, the author has proposed a model of the electron's internal structure, wherein a positively-charged negative mass outer shell and a negatively-charged positive mass central core are proposed to resolve the electron's charge and mass inconsistencies. That model is modified in this document by assuming the electron's radius is exactly equal to the classical electron radius. The attributes of the internal components of the electron's structure have been recalculated accordingly. The shape of the electron is also predicted, and found to be slightly aspherical on the order of an oblate ellipsoid. This shape is attributed to centrifugal force and compliant outer shell material. It is interesting to note that all of the electron's attributes, both external and internal, with the exception of mass and angular moment, are functions of the fine structure constant α , and can be calculated from just three additional constants: electron mass, Planck's constant, and speed of light. In particular, the ratios of the outer shell charge and mass to the electron charge and mass, respectively, are 3 2α . The ratios of the central core charge and mass to the electron charge and mass, respectively, areAttributes of the electron are compared with those of the muon. Charge and spin angular momentum are the same, while mass, magnetic moment, and radius appear to be related by the fine structure constant. The mass of the electron outer shell is nearly equal to the mass of the muon. The muon internal structure can be modeled exactly the same as for the electron, with exactly the same attribute relationships.
