As we probably all know the electron has a mass, charge and spin as
some of its main properties. However at the same time, as far as I have
been informed, the electron is considered to be a point like particle
without a diameter! Does the electron have no size what so ever? If
yes, then how can you have mass located at an infinitely small point?
I have read other places that experiments show that the size of the
electron is < 10^{-18}m.
If there is someone here that could explain me the whole "size of the
electron" paradox I would be thankful.

It often happens that the truth is much simpler than had been supposed.
The answer to your question (and much more) lies in the pages of my
thesis that can be found on line in the General Science Journal at
http://www.wbabin.net
Go to LIST OF AUTHORS and click on Vertner Vergon. The title of the
monograph
is On the Quantum as a Physical Entity.
The electron extends to a huge diameter --- but its density diminishes
as the fourth power of the radius. The density is greater, of course,
at the center. And the center is considered the point. At the outer
region, the density is so rare that there is no discernable surface --
and therefore no volume. I have established a so-called "effective"
radius which is the radius at the center. See what you think of it.
Note that in calculating the movement of astronomical bodies, the mass
is considered as all at the center. That doesn't mean that the bodies
are mass points.
