It is extremely remarkable that the electron and the proton are so

positron on the other hand, having the same mass as the electron, is not
as much of a miracle as the proton. It would not be very surprising if
the exactly equal charge of the proton is really derived from an
embedded positron.

My own guess about the relation between electron and proton goes like

'electron' denotes the far end of a standing 'rotation wave' and

What we call 'charge' is therefore kind of a wave and an atom the entire

The ideas you describe for the electron are similar to those of quantum
field theory, though not for the proton. The proton is sometimes
described as the most complex subatomic object.

BTW, in your presentation, slide 149, you state:

"
... . It [my physics research program] started with a very unspectacular
question: in air, the speed of sound is higher than the velocity of the
single atoms. What could be the reason?
"

But this is not the case, right?

From:

https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_47.html#Ch47-S5

"
... In other words, the speed of sound is of the same order of magnitude
as the speed of the molecules, and is actually somewhat less than this
average speed.

Of course we could expect such a result, because a disturbance like a
change in pressure is, after all, propagated by the motion of the
molecules. However, such an argument does not tell us the precise
propagation speed; it could have turned out that sound was carried
primarily by the fastest molecules, or by the slowest molecules. It is
reasonable and satisfying that the speed of sound is roughly 1/2 of the
average molecular speed v_{avg}.
"

Your motivation into your research caught my eye, because a significant
part of my own motivation into resurrecting the aether was the
observation that just as "the speed of sound is of the same order of
magnitude as the speed of the molecules", perhaps the speed of the
aether particles is of the same order of magnitude as the speed of light!
