   My own guess about the relation between electron and proton goes like this:   
      
   'electron' denotes the far end of a standing 'rotation wave' and   
   'proton' this inner turning point.   
      
   What we call 'charge' is therefore kind of a wave and an atom the entire   
   wave, which has certain characteristic points.   
      
   These points get certain names and we treat them as real, lasting,   
   material objects.   
      
   But that is actually wrong and we should regard particles as certain   
   timelike stable structures.
