I can't make any sense of the first link, looks like run off the mill crackpot nonsense. The second looks better. At least the GR looks ok. The idea that particles are 3d defects in space is funny. I don't understand how the proposed metric for a particle, which is not supposed to be a schwarzschild metric (?), arises. It's not written anywhere explicitely. Is this supposed to be a solution of the Einstein equations in the presence of a defect? The crucial part seems to be missing here.

I agree with your assessment of the two links. I'm still wondering how a cavity can have other properties like charge.
