%X In conventional theoretical physics and its Standard Model the guiding principle is that the equations are symmetrical. This limitation leads to a number of di culties, because it does not permit masses for leptons and quarks, the electron tends to ˇ°explodeˇ± under the action of its self-charge, a corresponding photon model has no spin, and such a model cannot account for the ˇ°needle radiationˇ± proposed by Einstein and observed in the photoelectric e ect and in two-slit experiments. This paper summarizes a revised Lorentz and gauge invariant quantum electrodynamic theory based on a nonzero electric  eld divergence in the vacuum and characterized by linear intrinsic broken symmetry. Itthus provides an alternative to the Higgs concept of nonlinear spontaneous broken symmetry, for solving the di culties of the Standard Model. New results are obtained, such as nonzero and  nite lepton rest masses, a point-charge-like behavior of the electron dueto a revised renormalization procedure, a magnetic volume force which counteracts the electrostatic eigen-force of the electron, a nonzero spin of the photon and of light beams, needle radiation, and an improved understanding of the photoelectric e ect, two-slit experiments, electron-positron pair formation, and cork-screw-shaped light beams.
