When is it my turn with the electron?
You can have it as long as you don’t observe it.
don’t worry guys I’m keeping track of it it’s moving very fast but oh fuck sorry guys my bad
I see, charge is a class method and not an instance method. Well played universe creator.
So if I can destroy 1 electron I destroy every electron?
You would need a position to do that and all you might have done is reflect it backwards in time.
If you could “remove” it by placing it into another dimension, it might disprove the theory, but the causal domain might be larger then previous assumed.
This is one of those Math Theories that isn’t technically a Science Theory. We can make a mathematical model, but it’s untestable.
Let’s try it and find out!
Create the parent entity electron, give it properties, then clone as needed
That’s just efficient world design, guys, why make assets different if you don’t gotta, yakno?
Put a new skin on it and everyone thinks it’s a whole different electron.
Do these skins come in loot boxes? How do I unlock?
Currently reading Hyperion… Got it, the electron is the Shrike!
What a boson.
To his credit, Wheeler did try to make a quantum leap. It just wasn’t coherent. If he had kept at it, I’m sure he would have had momentum.
This comment gave me spin
I’m glad you realized the gravity of the situation.
Let him cook
Nobody wants to covalent anymore.
Fine, I’ll do it myself
-ThelectronYou have to be bonded and that’s a whole bureaucratic mess.
Don’t most sub-atomic particles have the same charge and mass? Why just electrons?
The whole thing is an abstraction. The nucleus isn’t actually tiny ball shaped things mashed together, but rather cloudy stuff which would probably not be identical if we could actually see them. The quarks that make up protons and neutrons are considered elementary particles and identical, but they don’t move around much unless energy is used to split them.
The electron however is an elementary particle that moves outside of the nucleus and can move from one atom to another. So the hypothesis is that if we could follow one electron from the big bang to the end of the universe, and this electron could move both forwards and backwards in time, it would potentially be enough with just one.
It probably doesn’t hold up very well, but it’s an interesting thought experiment.
Quarks and gluons are a roiling, seething sea of energy. The particles move at fractions the speed of light.
No, electrons are much smaller than protons, which are slightly smaller than neutrons.
I think they meant “aren’t all protons the same as other protons?, neutrons as other neutrons?, etc.”
Yeah exactly. I couldn’t think of how to phrase that exactly without a long explanation though.
It made sense to me. I also struggled to phrase it without sounding like I was insulting them for misunderstanding you.
You’d have to ask John Wheeler, which would be difficult since he died in 2008.
Just get the electron to ask him next time it goes back in time, duh
I would, but I only speak positronic.
Data?!
Nah, I only speak positronic. He thinks it.
Maybe, because we can measure the number of protons and neutrons with an ion accelerator? I don’t know if the something similar can be done with electrons.
So, if route all of the electricity in my house through my body, how far can I travel in time? What about a car battery’s worth?
Sorry, you need 1.21 jiggawats.
I’m going to have to modify my juicer.
Don’t forget to move 66 mph in the direction of the past. Or future, whatever floats your time boat.
