Winston Bostick made the front page of the New York Times with his publication of the
Morphology of the Electron. Bostick maintained that his toroidal ring empirical structure could account for atomic structure plus the strong and weak forces within the nucleus. He claimed that the helical plasmoid or standing wave in an electromagnetic plasma was the physical basis for string theory, but this view received no support from the mainstream scientific community, because it was not politically correct under the Post-Modern Philosophy of Science. It is now considered alternative science.
I am still looking for my xerox copy of Bostick's paper on the Morphology of the Electron, but in the meantime I have attached some other papers and URL related links
