Are Electrons made of Light? (The Williamson & Van der Mark Electron model).


 

15 Nov 2025 HILVERSUM
The video discusses an model for the internal structure of the electron that is not aligned with the opinions and views of main-stream physics.

0:00 intro
01:43 what if particles are made of light?
02:35 Issues with the electron as a point entity
05:22 Compton wavelength
10:24 Circular polarization of light
10:50 The WvdM electron model
20:00 Calculation of charge from EM energy
22:37 Point interaction (de Broglie harmony of phases)
28:05 Mechanism of self-confinement
33:00 Some additional random questions for the Universe

The end tune is based on “Questions for the Universe” by Laufay Jónsdóttir. I guess the song (here in a special edition featuring Liam Fullersheit) is a testament of how diverse our questions to the universe can be ;-).
