We propose a simple classical model of the zitterbewegung. In this mod
el spin is proportional to the velocity of the particle, the component
parallel to p is constant and the orthogonal components are oscillati
ng with 2p frequency. The quantization of the system gives wave equati
ons for spin 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2,..., etc. respectively. These equations ar
e convenient for massless particles. The wave equation of the spin-1,
massless free particle is equivalent to the Maxwell equations and the
stare functions have a probability interpretation and exhibit conserve
d current densities. The ground state has zero energy.
