Electron is the basic material entity with the observed properties termed inertia, gravitational field, and electro-magnetic fields. Because these fields exert forces, there is energy associated with this entity.

So far, the observed external fields have been fairly well described, but the internal structure of the electron, generating these fields, has not been determined.

Here is outlined a model that satisfies a number of requirements, but the theory is still incomplete, mostly due to the difficulties involved in representing vortex mechanics. Namely, the electron is considered to be a particular type of stable vortex that can exist in the aether.

A number of people have in the past conjectured that electrons, and the observed matter in general, might be vortices, but, as with the photon, which needs a substance to propagate, so also the electron vortex needs a substance to exist. Consequently, since the advocates of current physics abandoned the aether, the vortex theory has also been forgotten, and all progress stopped.

By returning to the aether concept, and assuming that the electron is the simplest vortex in the aether, it becomes possible to account for all observed phenomena without introducing any bizarre concepts, and even to simplify the existing definitions.

As in the photon, the fields associated with the electron are a manifestation of acceleration in the aether.

According to a property, termed electric charge, there exist two kinds of electrons, termed negative, and positive. Since the negative electrons are located in the external parts of atoms, they were the only type known until in 1930 Dirac predicted, and two years later Anderson confirmed, the existence of a positive counterpart. Consequently, to make the distinction, negative electrons are also called negatrons, while the positive ones are positrons.

Positrons are also considered to be anti-matter because they cannot exist as free entities in contact with atoms composed of negatrons. Namely, if a free positron and a negatron come together, they con-vert themselves into photons. The reverse can also happen. A photon with sufficient energy can produce such an opposite pair of electrons. Although the positrons cannot last in our environment as free entities, it is sensible to assume that they are a component of the protons in the atomic nucleus, from where they are emitted in some radioactivity.

Because the positive proton charge is identical to the positron charge, I am assuming that the proton contains an odd number of positrons.

In this sense, the charge phenomenon is associated with the possible pair of spherical vortices in the aether, and the nuclear structures are apparently various complex dynamic assemblies that I cannot yet describe in any detail, and therefore, the presentation here will be limited to the basic pair of electron vortices.
