Semi-Classical Exchange of Unphysical Photons Between Two Widely Separated Quantum Black Holes

Authors: J. P. Lestone

We consider the possibility that electromagnetism is caused by the exchange of unphysical L=0 photons between fundamental particles with properties that resemble quantum black holes. This force is infinite if the known far-field cross section is assumed. However, the divergence is generated at low energy where the photon wavelengths are large and the far-field limit fails. An estimate of the near-field correction removes the infinity and leads to an estimate of the inverse fine structure constant of alpha^-1~139. A speculative scaling of a term controlling the near-field correction by 1/(1+alpha) gives the result alpha^-1=137.038. A suggested speculative link to the higher-order QED corrections to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron gives alpha^-1=137.036 and a calculated elementary charge q=1.602177x10^-19 C. These calculations suggest elementary particles are quantum black holes.
