Are you "Physics" perplexed, like me? Options
==.
1
*ATOMS* - have electrons. . . . . . . . .
2
*ELECTRONS* Negatively charged particles that constitute electricity.
3
*ELECTRON VOLT* . . . .
4
*FERMIONS* . . have leptons . . . . . . .
5
*LEPTONS* . . . .Lightweight particles like the electrons that
constitute electrical current and . . . . .
6
*NEUTRINOS* Extremely light, almost massless, invisible particles
produced
in radioactive decays, they are part of the lepton family . . . .
7.
PHOTONS* Particles that transmit electromagnetic forces, or light.

*STANDARD MODEL* A set of equations that describes forces of nature
in
terms of elementary particles, known as fermions, . . . . .

There are three forces of nature in the Standard Model:
light, or electromagnetism . . . .
===.
Half of your perplexed points tied with electron / photon.
Nobody knows what electron is.
If we solve that problem - the perplex will be disappeared
==========================..
The Electron’s puzzle.
===.
1900, 1905
Planck and Einstein found the energy of electron: E=h*f.
1916
Sommerfeld found the formula of electron : e^2=ah*c,
1928
Dirac found two more formulas of electron’s energy:
+E=Mc^2 and -E=Mc^2.
According to QED in interaction with vacuum electron’s
energy is infinite: E= ∞
Questions.
Why does the simplest particle - electron have five ( 5 ) formulas ?
What is connection between them ?
Why does electron obey five ( 5) Laws ?
a) Law of conservation and transformation energy/ mass
b) Maxwell’s equations
c) Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle / Law
d) Pauli Exclusion Principle/ Law
e) Fermi-Dirac statistics
What is connection between them ?
#
What is an electron ?
Nobody knows.
In the internet we can read hundreds theories about electron
All of them are problematical
We can read hundreds books about philosophy of physics.
But how can we trust them if we don’t know what electron is ?
==.
Quote by Heinrich Hertz on Maxwell's equations:
"One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulae
have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own,
that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers,
that we get more out of them than was originally put into them."
=.
The banal Electron is not as simple as we think and, maybe,
he is much wiser than we are.
==========.
Conclusion from some article:
One of the best kept secrets of science is
that physicists have lost their grip on reality.
