An electron has mass, about 10-30 kg. If it had zero diameter it would have infinite density and thus behave as a charged black hole. This would be a handy tool: you could steer it around in space (thanks to its charge) and it would mop up all the residual dust, dangerous asteroids and expired satellites with its gravitational field. Indeed you wouldn't need to do any "steering" as the Van Allen belts conveniently consist of electrons whizzing around in the earth's magnetic field. So the next time you hear of a mysterious disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle or your washing machine, blame it on a Kryptid electron - what a perfect name!
It's also worth mentioning that a black hole electron would have the same gravitational field strength as an electron of very small but finite size at any given distance from it
Is it possible for electrons to by composed of multiple points?
I will give you an experiment, emit some electrons directed at some electrons.
If they had no volume there would be nothing to collide.
After a cursory read of this thread I do see where some promising concepts can be developed.
True, but an electron of zero radius still has a charge, so it can attract a positron or neutral particle to any value of r you wish, including r = 0. At this point the gravitational field is infinite. Now a positron has all the properties of an electron except for a positive charge, so the "black hole electron" can slurp up positron to produce a boson with mass 2me, r = 0, g = ∞, and no charge. It's only a matter of time before this meets another boson....and the universe gradually disappears.
a volume of geometric positional points
positive ZPE
A neutral polarity field shall be labelled a N-field
On the premise that all signed electrostatic fields are attracted to neutral signed electrostatic fields,

Any charged object - whether positively charged or negatively charged - will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.
Points have no volume by definition.
Quote from: Thebox on Today at 06:12:02positive ZPEYou need to define that too.Quote from: Thebox on Today at 06:12:02A neutral polarity field shall be labelled a N-field You need to explain what you mean by "A neutral polarity field".
a neutral polarity field is obviously a field that is not positive or negative .

A ZPE is described in the abstract
Quote from: Thebox on 01/03/2018 21:41:13A ZPE is described in the abstractThe abstract says it's a zero point energy.But you are clearly not using either of the accepted uses of that phrase so, once again, please define it.
Zero-point energy (ZPE) or ground state energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have.
I explain the electrostatic charge is the zpe.
