Electrons fine structure constant.
=.
It is interesting to understand the Sommerfeld formula:
a= e^2 / h*c, where {a} is fine structure constant: 1/137
Feynman expressed (a ) quantity as
by the god given damnation to all physicists .
But the fine structure constant is not independent quantity,
it is only part of formula of an electron: e^2=h*ca .
The constant {a} is only one of three constants which
belong to the formula of electron: e^2=h*ca.
(a), (c), (h*) are three constants which created the electron.
And if we dont know (a) then we dont know what electron is.
Therefore in the internet is possible to find 100 different models
of electron. For example.
The book "What is the Electron?"
Volodimir Simulik
Montreal, Canada. 2005. /
In this book:
More than ten different models of the electron are presented here. (!!!)
More than twenty models are discussed briefly. (!!!)
Thus, the book gives a complete picture of contemporary theoretical
thinking (traditional and new) about the physics of the electron.

All of these models are problematical.
We can read hundreds books about philosophy of physics.
But how can we trust them if we dont know what electron is.
And somebody wrote:
If I well remember Einstein once said about particle physics:
"why do we study some many particles?
Understand really what is an electron would be enough."
. . .
Finding the structure of the electron will be the key
to finding the origin of the natural laws.

By my peasant logic at first it is better to understand
the closest and simplest particle photon /electron and
then to study the far away spaces and another particles.
