Models of particles mini-conference

Abstract: Models of particles mini-conference to discuss fundamental questions e.g.:

Why is electric charge quantized (no half-electron)? Where does the Coulomb interaction come from? How to prevent infinites e.g. of electric field of point charge? Spin, magnetic dipole, angular momentum, zitterbewegung/clock of electron? Why do we have 3 leptons? Where does their difference come from? What are neutrinos, baryons, mesons, strangeness? Why proton is lighter than neutron? Deuteron than n+p? What holds nuclei together against Coulomb? Neutrons in halo nuclei? How to get gravity, Newton force for particles? Why does the model behave quantum mechanically not classically? What photon is? What prevents its dissipation? What is its energy distribution?
