Auto-stabilized Electron

We propose a theory to explain the mechanism that stabilizes an electron. We show that the intrinsic divergences that occur in quantum electrodynamics can be removed by casting it within general relativity. The infinities are compensated by the curvature created by the intense energy density of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the electron. Using the concept of hydrostatic stability we find that the outward and inward pressures balance at a radius of (√alpha/4pi)xPlanck length. The resulting electron mass is 10^17 GeV. Details of the theory and calculations and results will be presented. Modeling of binary neutron star and black hole-neutron star mergers, and of their electro-
