  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 &#215; 10
  <sup>-21</sup> 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.

Introduction</title><p>In this paper, my effort is to find some attributes of electrons based on Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana or moment, exceedingly small quanta of time [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>]. The attributes of electrons include spin, magnetic moment, fine structure constant α, anomalous magnetic moment, and charge quantization. Various physical parameters of the electron such as charge, mass, as well as the spin angular momentum and the magnetic moment have been measured with great precision [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref3">3</xref>]. Different properties of electrons have revealed some facts about their size and shape [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref4">4</xref>].</p><p>The radius of electron is the key problem in elementary particle physics [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref5">5</xref>]. Researchers have made various approaches to give the exact value to its radius. Various theoretical and experimental results show that there are eight diverse types of radii of an electron [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref4">4</xref>].</p><p>For example, classical electron radius, Compton radius (electron), electromagnetic radius (electron) etc. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref4">4</xref>]. In the paper, Compton radius of electron is discussed. The radius of the electron is found based on Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>], where kshana is a very small and indivisible unit of time, and Maharishi Kanada’s thought on “cause and effect”. Maharishi Kanada says that “the attribute of the cause is found to be present in the effect” (“Kaaranagunapurvakaha kaaryaguno drasthaha” 2.1.24) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref6">6</xref>]. Therefore, in case of pair production, in the article, it is assumed that (1) the time period (an attribute) of spinning electron or positron (effect) is the same as that of photon (cause), and (2) electron and positron spin with a relativistic velocity of light [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref7">7</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2. Definition of a Very Small Unit Time “Kshana” or “Moment”</title><p>Maharishi Vyasa, in his commentary on Patanjali Yoga Sutra, defined a very small unit of time called “kshana” or “moment”, which is very small and indivisible [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref1">1</xref>]. According to him, it is the time taken by an elementary particle to change its direction from east to north [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>]. Here, in the article, we assumed that the elementary particle is a spinning electron, as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>. When a spinning electron changes direction from east to north, the time taken is “t” units. Then, velocity is</p><p>v ′ = θ R s t m / kshana (1)</p><p>where “R<sub>s</sub>” is the radius of the spinning electron. According to the Maharishi Vyasa’s time, “t” is one “kshana,” and θ = 90˚ = π/2 radians, as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>. Hence</p><p>v ′ = 90 ∘ &#215; R s 1 = π &#215; R s 2 m / kshana (2)</p><p>Similarly, the angular velocity ω ′ is</p><p>ω ′ = θ t = 90 ∘ 1 = π / 2 1 = π 2 radian / kshana (3)</p><p>Substituting the value of π, we obtain ω ′ = 1.570796326794 radian/kshana. Angular velocity ω ′ is a constant velocity since π is a constant quantity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>]. Rewriting the Equation (3)</p><p>1 Momentorkshana = π / 2 ω ′ = 1.570796326794 1.570796326794 (4)</p><p>Thus, 1 moment or 1 kshana is the time taken by a fundamental particle to describe an angle of 90˚ or π/2 radians while changing the direction from “East” to “North” and is just a constant independent of any external forces. Then, from Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>], we have</p><p>v ′ = c ′ = 2 π R s T s = 2 π R s 4 = π R s 2 meter / kshana (5)</p><p>where c' meter/kshana is the relativistic velocity of the spinning electron, T<sub>s</sub> = 4 kshanas is the time period, and R<sub>s</sub> meters is the radius of the spinning electron. The spinning velocity of electrons is equal to the relativistic velocity of light [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref7">7</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref8">8</xref>]. Therefore, it is assumed that the electron spins with the velocity of light [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref7">7</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="s3"><title>3. Determination of Number of Kshana in a Second</title><sec id="s3_1"><title>3.1. Method 1</title><p>If there are “n” kshana in a second, then from Equation (5), “n” can be found as shown below:</p><p>n = c   m / sec c ′   m / kshana = 2 c π R s kshana / sec (6)</p><p>where c is the velocity of light in meters/second and c' is the velocity of light in meters/kshana. Alternatively, we can find the number of kshanas “n” in a second, as shown below:</p><p>1 kshana = T s 4 = 2 π R s 4 c = π R s 2 c sec (7)</p><p>where spinning time period T<sub>s</sub> = 2πR<sub>s</sub>/c sec and 1 kshana = 1/n sec. Therefore,</p><p>n = 2 c π R s kshana / sec (8)</p><p>Equation (8) is like the Equation (6). Substituting the values for c and π, we have</p><p>n = 1.9085380 &#215; 10 8 R s kshana / sec (9)</p><p>Thus, the number of kshanas “n” in a second is reciprocally related to the radius of the spinning electron R<sub>s</sub>.</p></sec><sec id="s3_2"><title>3.2. Method 2</title><p>If T<sub>a</sub> is the time period of the electron in the first orbit of the hydrogen atom in sec and T<sub>s</sub> is the time period of spinning electrons in sec, then the ratio of time periods is</p><p>T a T s = ( 2 π R a v ) / ( 2 π R s c ) = R a c R s v = R a α R s (10)</p><p>where R<sub>a</sub>, R<sub>s</sub>, v, c, and α are the radius of the first orbit of the hydrogen atom in meters, radius of the spinning electron in meters, orbital velocity of the electron in the first orbit of the hydrogen atom in meters per sec, velocity of light in meters per sec, and fine structure constant, respectively. The fine structure constant is α = v/c. Rewriting the above equation when time periods T ′ a = n T a and T ′ s = n T s are in kshana, velocities v' = v/n and c' = c/n are in meters/kshana.</p><p>T ′ a T ′ s = ( 2 π R a v ′ ) / ( 2 π R s c ′ ) = R a c ′ R s v ′ = R a α R s (11)</p><p>where the fine structure constant is also α = v'/c' [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>]. If there are “n” kshanas in a second, then 1 sec = n kshanas. Thus, from Equation (11), we have</p><p>T ′ a T ′ s = n T a T ′ s = R a α R s (12)</p><p>where orbital time period T ′ a = n T a kshanas and spinning time period T ′ s = n T s = 4 kshanas. Rewriting the above equation, we have</p><p>n T a 4 = R a α R s (13)</p><p>n = 4 R a α T a R s (14)</p><p>But time period for the Bohr first orbit (n = 1), is T a = 4 ε 0 2 h 3 / m 0 e 4 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref9">9</xref>]. Substituting this in Equation (14) we have</p><p>n = 4 R a m 0 e 4 α 4 ε 0 2 h 3 R s (15)</p><p>But Rydberg constant R ∞ = m 0 e 4 / 8 ε 0 2 h 3 c [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref9">9</xref>]. Therefore,</p><p>n = 8 R a c m 0 e 4 α R s 8 ε 0 2 h 3 c = 8 R a R ∞ c α R s = k R s (16)</p><p>where, k = 8R<sub>a</sub>R<sub>∞</sub>c/α. Substituting the Bohr radius R<sub>a</sub> = 0.52917721 &#215; 10<sup>−10</sup> meters, Rydberg constant 10.97373156 &#215; 10<sup>6</sup>/meters, velocity of light c = 2.99792458 &#215; 10<sup>8</sup> meters/sec, and fine structure constant α = 7.29735256 &#215; 10<sup>−3</sup> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>], we get k = 1.90853806 &#215; 10<sup>8</sup>. Thus, number of kshanas in a second will be</p><p>n = 1.9085380 &#215; 10 8 R s kshana / sec (17)</p><p>Equation (17) is similar to Equation (9) and 1 kshana = 1/n = 0.52396125 &#215; 10<sup>−8</sup>R<sub>s</sub> sec. Thus, the number of kshanas in a second is inversely proportional to the radius of the spinning electron. However, the value of a “kshana” determined based on the radius of the first orbit of the hydrogen atom is comparatively large [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>], and for a large radius, the value of a “kshana” will also be large. Hence divisible, which goes against the definition given by Maharishi Vyasa. Therefore, it becomes necessary to find the value of a “kshana,” which is very small, and an indivisible unit of time.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4. Possible Ultimate Indivisible Value of a Kshana</title><p>Again, from Equation (16), we can write that</p><p>n = 8 R a R ∞ c α R s = 8 R ∞ c α 2 kshana / sec (18)</p><p>where, fine structure constant α = R<sub>s</sub>/R<sub>a</sub>. The ratio of the radius of the sphere (assuming that the electron is a sphere of radius R<sub>s</sub>) to the radius of the orbit is equal to the fine structure constant [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref11">11</xref>]. All the terms on the right-hand side of Equation (18) are constants; hence, the number of kshanas “n” in a second is also constant. Substituting the values of constants R<sub>∞</sub>, c, and α, we have n = 263.1873566 &#215; 10<sup>14</sup>/53.2513543849 &#215; 10<sup>−6</sup> = 4.94235986370 &#215; 10<sup>20</sup> kshanas.</p><p>Again, from Equation (17) and the value of “n” from Equation (18), which is 4.94235986370 &#215; 10<sup>20</sup> kshanas, the spinning electron radius R<sub>s</sub> will be equal to 3.86159266 &#215; 10<sup>−13</sup> m, which is also the reduced Compton wavelength [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref5">5</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref11">11</xref>]. Thus, it is clear that once the exact, ultimate, indivisible value of kshana is known, one can figure out the structure of the electron. From Equation (18), it appears that 1/n = α<sup>2</sup>/8R<sub>∞</sub>c i.e., 1 kshana = 2.02332494691 &#215; 10<sup>−21</sup> sec, may be the ultimate value for a kshana, as defined by Maharishi Vyasa, and this needs further verification by researchers.</p></sec><sec id="s5"><title>5.

The ultimate indivisible value of the kshana is 2.02332494691 &#215; 10<sup>−21</sup> sec which is in good agreement with Ziya Saglam [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref8">8</xref>]. Thus, Maharishi Vyasa’s time unit “kshana” is very small and indivisible quanta of time which needs further attention.</p><p>Equation (17) shows that the number of kshanas in a second are inversely proportional to the radius of spinning electron. Smaller the radius of spinning electron larger the value of number of kshanas in a second. <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref> shows the variation in number of kshanas with different values of radius of spinning electron.</p><p>This radius of the electron is found based on Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref1">1</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref2">2</xref>]. I obtained a reduced Compton wavelength equal to 3.8615926760 &#215; 10<sup>−13</sup> m which is the same as the reported CODATA value [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>]. Apart from Compton radius, I found the number of kshanas taking classical electron radius (2.8179403227 &#215; 10<sup>−15</sup> [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>]) into account which is shown in the <xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref>.</p><p>The spinning electron model based on Maharishi Vyasa’s definition of kshana is successful in explaining most of the properties of the electron such as radius, spin angular momentum, spin magnetic moment, and rest mass of the electron. The radius of the spinning electron determined based on this definition is the same as the reported value which is equal to the reduced Compton wavelength. However, according to the calculations the value of the electron radius is large compared with the classical electron radius (<xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>] and hence needs further attention.</p><p>According to Maharishi Vyasa’s definition, one “kshana” (exceedingly small quanta of time) is equal to the time taken by the electron to traverse π/2 radians. Obviously, it appears that it can be subdivided into time intervals needed to traverse smaller angles. However, this goes against the definition of “kshana” as propounded by Maharishi Vyasa and may have some physical significance which needs further investigation. Thus, “kshana” cannot be subdivided by dividing the angle π/2.</p><table-wrap id="table1" ><label><xref ref-type="table" rid="table1">Table 1</xref></label><caption><title> Comparison of number of “kshanas” in a sec for various values of radius of the electron</title></caption><table><tbody><thead><tr><th align="center" valign="middle" >Radius of an electron in meters</th><th align="center" valign="middle" >Value of a kshana in sec</th><th align="center" valign="middle" >Value of a sec in kshanas</th></tr></thead><tr><td align="center" valign="middle" >Classical electron radius 2.8179403227 &#215; 10<sup>−15</sup> m [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref10">10</xref>]</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >1.476491549 &#215; 10<sup>−23</sup> sec</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >0.677281221 &#215; 10<sup>23</sup> kshanas</td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="middle" >Electron charge radius 0.0118 &#215; 10<sup>−15</sup> m [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref19">19</xref>]</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >6.18274281 &#215; 10<sup>−26</sup> sec</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >1.617405138 &#215; 10<sup>25</sup> kshanas</td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="middle" >Hardon electron radius 10<sup>−18</sup> m [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref20">20</xref>]</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >5.239612554 &#215; 10<sup>−27</sup> sec</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >1.90853806 &#215; 10<sup>26</sup> kshanas</td></tr><tr><td align="center" valign="middle" >Graviton radius 1.369 &#215; 10<sup>−76</sup> m [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.119198-ref21">21</xref>]</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >0.71730295 &#215; 10<sup>−84</sup> kshanas</td><td align="center" valign="middle" >1.394111076 &#215; 10<sup>84</sup> kshanas</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></sec><sec id="s7"><title>7.
