    And so we propose that zitterbe- wegung is the rapid spatial oscillation of electron charge, even as the energy of the electron uctuates rapidly between positive and negative values. This zitterbewegung of electron charge has measurable consequences.
    Zitterbewegung has since been recognized as a manifestation of the structure of the electron, speci cally as the electron's \relativistic structure" , though zitterbewegung has always been understood as a feature that is independent of the velocity of the electron, executed even by an electron with zero momentum.
    In the Dirac theory for the motion of free relativistic electrons, highly oscillatory components appear in the time evolution of physical observables such as position, velocity, and spin angular momentum. This effect is known as Zitterbewegung.
    Zitterbewegung and the Charge of an Electron contradiction to Special Relativity and observation. It is shown in this article that this anomalous the electron cannot be described by the same position operator. The measured velocity of electron mass is always less than c in any direction but charge can be displaced at the speed of light. This
