The electron in a (3+3)-dimensional space-time”, in “What is the electron?

We review the basic features of a model of the electron in a 6-dimensional space-time with two extra time dimensions. The electron is assumed to be a massless particle in such a space, and it acquires mass when considered in the usual 4-D space-time. Its spin and magnetic moment are obtained by an effect of polarization, which gives rise—in the three-dimensional temporal space—to a helicoidal motion along the usual time axis with radius of the order of the Compton wavelength of the electron. In such a model, chirality is nothing but the inverse of rotation of the electron in the “time” space. It is also shown that a connection can be established between the 6-D space-time and a recently developed Kaluza-Klein-like formalism with energy as fifth dimension.
