Off the point but: John Cramer is the author of one of the most intriguing interpretations of quantum mechanics. You can find the Reviews of Modern Physics reference in Carver Mead's (yes, that Carver Mead) Collective Electrodynamics, aka the book that made every ex-physicist in the Valley wish they still were...
I recall doing quantum electrodynamics calculations for the positronium atom (one electron and one positron) in the 1960's.I seem to recall that experimentalists had already made the stuff; it's easier working with positrons than with antiprotons. Beyond cool, the whole idea was to check quantum electrodynamics in other systems. It's still the best theory every: six decimal point agreement between theory and experiment.

Call your local quantum mechanic. She'll tell you they don't cease to "vibrate": it's called zero point energy.
