On the relationship between the intensity of zero-point fluctuations of an electromagnetic field (ZPFs) and the magnitude of an elementary electric charge

The consequences of the idea of stimulation of spontaneous emission of photons and scattering of particles in quantum electrodynamics by zero-point fluctuations of an electromagnetic field (ZPFs) are considered. It is shown that this idea leads to a connection between the magnitude of the elementary electric charge and the intensity of the ZPFs, leads to the idea of the stochastic nature of the electromagnetic interaction in time, and due to this, to the possibility of "classical" passage of particles through a potential barrier.
