Exceedingly Small Quantum of Time Kshana Explains the Structure of an Electron

Abstract

In this study, an effort is made to find the attributes of an electron based on Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana or moment. Kshana or moment is a very small quanta of time defined by Maharishi Vyasa. It is the time taken by an elementary particle to change the direction from east to north. It is found that the value of a kshana in the case of pair production is approximately 2 × 10 -21 sec, and the radius of the spinning electron or positron is equal to the reduced Compton wavelength. The mass of the electron is equal to the codata recommended value of electron mass and time required in pair production is about four kshanas equal to spinning period of an electron. During validation, in case of the photoelectric effect, spectral series of hydrogen atoms, Compton scattering, and the statistical concept of motion of electron, the value of the number of kshanas in a second is the same as that found in pair production.
