Some time ago, when I was about 20, I suggested that elementary particles
are actually photons that get stuck by their own gravity.

If the energy of an element of a electromagnetic wave is E^2/c where E is
the local electric field then the equivalent elemental mass is given by the
relation dmc^2=E^2/c.

so dm=E^2/c^3.  The gravitational force between elemental masses is
Gdm1.dm2/(r12)^2
So the gravitational binding energy of the whole wave is:
GSum(dm(n).dm(n)/(r(m,n))^2) over all m,n m<>n.

For a particular element this sum is the energy at that point:

GSum(dm.dm(m)/r(m)^2) goes to GIntegral(dm.dm/r^2)

The differntial form is Gdm/r^2

Using the plank relation hf=energy then f=energy/h
So f=Gdm/r^2/h+E^2/hc
So f=GE^2/hr^2c^3+E^2/hc=E^2((G/hc^3)(1/r)+1/hc)
f=E^2/hc((G/c^2)(1/r)+1)

I can't go any further, but it looks like a relation between r, E and f that
can be made into a differential equation that will give a similar equation
to the shrodinger equation for an electron orbital, but instead applying to
the photon trapped by gravity to form the electron.  I think shrodinger
could be a case where the proton wave and the electron wave interact to make
something new.
