Reconsidering Compton Scattering: A Geometric Challenge to the Probabilistic Electron Model

This paper challenges the standard interpretation of Compton scattering as a confirmation of the particle nature of the electron. It argues that re-emission phenomena—specifically, the directional and frequency-modulated behavior observed in X-ray scattering—require internal structure and resonance, features incompatible with a point-like or purely probabilistic electron model. Instead, the electron is modeled as a closed, compressible surface (φₑ) that supports vibrational interference patterns. The scattering angle θ and the corresponding wavelength shift Δλ are interpreted not as results of classical collision, but as geometric expressions of surface-normal interaction and modulation. The energy loss of the scattered photon corresponds to structural deformation—specifically, a shift in the interference density or curvature patterns on the φₑ surface. This geometric model provides a coherent, causally consistent explanation of scattering that aligns with observed angular dependencies, restoring physical intuition to a phenomenon long shrouded in abstraction.
