"I have no evidence the electron isn't the Easter bunny either." is a
typical Edgar type answer, attempting to "humorously" belittle the
questioner rather than answering the seriously-intended question. The point
is, you have to show that your theory actually solves existing problems and
makes testable predictions, not that anyone has to show it's wrong. Until
you make a testable prediction there is nothing being proposed, or nothing
that can be tested.

(By the way, why would one *not* believe the electron is a wave function,
or at least is well described by it? As far as I know, that model works
very well.)

So you're trying to fix the matter/antimatter asymmetry by saying that
matter and antimatter are arranged asymmetrically inside what we call
normal matter.

Do you explain the reason for *that* asymmetry (the asymmetrical
arrangement) ?

(By the way, surely the quark model explains the internal structure of
protons, and has passed all tests to date? Is there a specific problem with
it that your theory fixes?)

So far so good. All someone wishing to test your theory needs to know is
what you consider a ground state electron (without making any reference to
other hypothetical entities from your theory, of course). So far, all we
know is that conduction electrons *aren't* what you consider ground state
electrons - which is just as well since those tend to move much slower that
0*.*1c.

By the way, in which reference frame is this velocity defined?

More testable predictions, please.

The speed of the electron in the H atom is apparently of the order of c /
the fine structure constant, or according to my trusty calculator around
the speed you give above. However, I've heard that electrons move a lot
faster in heavier atoms, and a quick google backs this up, see for example
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy99/phy99092.htm - electrons in
heavy atoms like Uranium move at close to lightspeed.

So I guess the next question is, what do you mean by "almost all" ?
