I am not yet convinced that an electron can be reduced to a point in space. Would you consider the spin as a different part of the electron? I have seen where that portion can be separated and toyed with. I have also seen where electrons act as waves that interfere with themselves in double slit type experiments. This type of behavior implies size (wave) beyond a point location.

I disagree. A point is a geometric entity without extension, which means a point cannot be subdivided into parts. Therefore an ideal point charge has no parts which can blow part. > The fact > that the spin can be worked with independent of the charge suggests that > there is a volume of some type being occupied by the electron pieces.
