Zitterbewegung and Electron Orbitals?

[metacogitans]

Sorry for another thread about Zitterbewegung.

I was wondering if Zitterbewegung, being the hypothetical trembling motion of elementary particles, could explain the uncertainty of an electron's location resulting in its orbital (with the electron orbital viewed simply as an electron's probable location around an atomic nucleus).

My idea is basically that residual amounts of external radiation from the rest of the universe affect the electron, causing trembling motion. The electron still stays coupled with the atomic nucleus following a path of least resistance; if the 'residual Zitterbewegung-inducing radiation' were to cause the electron to escape the atomic nucleus, that would mean the path of least resistance had been greater in another direction, and would have actually been what we'd observe as an interaction of some sorts, such as a chemical reaction, and the electron would become coupled with a different atomic nucleus.

 

Or in different words: the energy required for an electron to escape an atomic nucleus is equal to the energy of another proton coming within closer proximity to the electron than its current proton.

 

The Zitterbewegung resulting from residual radiation throughout the universe causing a trembling motion in the electron makes its coupling to an atomic nucleus uncertain, allowing for non-permanent coupling between protons and electrons; instead of viewing particles as 'binding together', opposite electromagnetic charges could be viewed as coupling together momentarily/temporary out of a path of least resistance.

 

For this hypothetical model to work properly, space/distance as well as time at this scale would have to be reconceptualized. Since time only has metric based on changes in distances, and distance only has metric based on the time it takes something to travel between two points, then space exists as the position of its contents relative to each other, and the particle contents of space only have distance between each other relative to other particles - thus, when two particles are closer in proximity to each other than any other particles, the distance between them is indefinite, and the time it takes for the particles to travel that distance is infinite. Although stationary relative to each other, a particle pair may be rotating through space relative to other particles - observed as 'coupling' between particles.

 

Electromagnetic charge then, results from the direction of this rotation after point-particle pairs coil into structural formations with other point particle pairs into larger structures with a specific, intrinsic orientation to the rotation of pairs.

 

Positives and negatives could then be thought of as gears spinning clockwise and counter-clockwise: gears spinning in the opposite direction mesh together and stay coupled - while gears spinning in the same direction kick off each other, exhibiting a 'repulsion'.

 

The principles which this model relies on could be summed up with central principle: space does not exist independent of its contents. Whatever 'space' is, it has to be made of 'something', thereby being part of space's contents; this paradox is resolved by viewing space as the sum of its contents, without there being an underlying Euclidean grid (as such a grid would have to be made of 'something', returning to the paradox).

With space conceptualized in this manner, it becomes possible for the macroscopic universe to take on an oblong, branch-like, or coiling shape.
