Note that in the following video they model electrons as loops of current: not point particles.

Are Electrons Point Particles

We could say that the particle is the punctual definition of the mass. In reality, like the massless photon, the particle in quantum mechanics boils down to packet of energy. It should not be forgotten that the particle is "true" only during the observation, because otherwise the particle comes down to waves. A particle is a collapsed wave function due to observation.

Not really.
