Zitterbewegung structure in electrons and photons
David Hestenes
The Dirac equation is reinterpreted as a constitutive equation for singularities in the electromagnetic vacuum, with the electron as a point singularity on a lightlike toroidal vor…
Quantum Mechanics of the electron particle-clock
David Hestenes
Understanding the electron clock and the role of complex numbers in quantum mechanics is grounded in the geometry of spacetime, and best expressed with Spacetime Algebra (STA). The…
Gauge Gravity and Electroweak Theory
David Hestenes
Reformulation of the Dirac equation in terms of the real Spacetime Algebra (STA) reveals hidden geometric structure, including a geometric role for the unit imaginary as generator…
Reading the Electron Clock
David Hestenes
If electron zitterbewegung is a real effect, it should generate an electric dipole field oscillating with the zitterbewegung frequency 2mc^2/hbar. The possibility of detecting it a…
Zitterbewegung in Quantum Mechanics -- a research program
David Hestenes
Spacetime Algebra (STA) provides unified, matrix-free spinor methods for rotational dynamics in classical theory as well as quantum mechanics. That makes it an ideal tool for study…
Partnerships For Physics Teaching Reform -- a crucial role for universities and colleges
David Hestenes, Jane Jackson
To meet National Standards recommended by the National Research Council for high school physics, inservice teachers must be integrated into the physics community. They must be empo…
