"are electron still point particles that display characteristics of being pointless? like no shape or size?" Only up to scales of 10^(-19)m.

After it gets measured, an electron has spin up/down. Where is this recorded?

I've substituted 3 different solutions of i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1 into i, j, k, and still didn't get ijk = -1.

Drawing the square root on both sides of i^2 = -1 is not a flawed proof. What makes it a flaw?

If they are not complex numbers, one shouldn't be able to prove that they are.

A quark is an excitation in the quark-field. Then where is the specific quark's momentum recorded?

Anyway saying there exists more than one sqrt(-1) such that sqrt(-1) not = sqrt(-1) is stretching the truth, therefore false.

What is the in-between state of a u-quark capturing an electron? Try to picture it and you'll know it doesn't make sense. Even two points trying to superimpose don't make sense.

Those formulas for i, j, k aren't the only values that satisfies i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = -1, in fact any point on the unit sphere would. So we have: i can be = j can be = k which contradicts the proof that they are always distinct.

From the above we can conclude they are commutative, contradicting a consequence of the axioms. So it doesn't matter that I can't substitute +/-sqrt(-1) for i, j, k.

Lemma: |i| = |j| = |k| is consistent with the axiom: i^2 = j^2 = k^2. Then the i, j, k cannot be distinct except where the sign on any two may differ. Proof: Assume i^2 = j^2 = k^2 Do the operation: drawing the square root to both sides of the equation: sqrt(i^2) = sqrt(j^2) and sqrt(j^2) =...

We have the equation: i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk=-1. Now solve the first three equations and substitute the result into the fourth. We get: ijk = (+/-sqrt(-1))(+/-sqrt(-1))(+/-sqrt(-1)) = +/-sqrt(-1) not = -1. Now the story is that you cannot make this substitution which is contrary to Mathematical rules.

If you say the tau changed into energy and the energy changed into the particles, I say this can't happen because neither of the three have a corresponding anti-particle.

That formula you quoted is illegal as a tau-antineutrino was not also created. It you insist on it, you must explain it that the tau-neutrino was part of the tau: that is ridiculous. My formulas respects the "only particle-antiparticle creation" rule. My formulas are too elegant to be untrue.

No. In which case: is the resulting particle virtual or real?
