In the Spring of 1940, theoretical physicist John Wheeler called Richard Feynman. It was a frantic call made in the middle of the night. As soon as Feynman picked up the phone Wheeler shouted, “I found the meaning to the universe!” Wheeler paused for dramatic effect...350Please respect copyright.PENANAWxjAtt724L

What is an electron? Why, it's a tiny, tiny particle that's a part of an atom. Inside an atom, there are even tinier particles called protons and neutrons that are stuck together in the center, called the nucleus. But an electron is different - it flies around the outside of the nucleus in what we call an electron cloud.350Please respect copyright.PENANAWC9gM11Fac
This electron travels at the speed of light. For the electron, time and space collapse into a singularity. The electron experiences both the beginning and the end of the universe. All of the universe is a single point.350Please respect copyright.PENANATWked659SY
"Feynman,” Wheeler continued. “I know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass"350Please respect copyright.PENANAF3oCbpzGJq
"Why?"350Please respect copyright.PENANAtoedzaUoGF
"Because, they are all the same electron!"350Please respect copyright.PENANAKhm7j5p4MD
The One-electron universe theory is an idea that suggests that the entire universe is made up of just one single electron that moves forwards and backwards in time. This electron travels so fast that it appears to be in many different places at once, which gives the illusion that there are many particles in the universe.
According to this theory, everything we see and experience in the world around us is simply the result of interactions between this one electron and itself. This might seem like a strange idea, but it's based on some important scientific concepts, like quantum mechanics and relativity.
Every person, animal, insect, bacteria that has ever existed on this weird, blue planet is the exact same single electron traveling back and forth through time and space. We are all one.
And there you have it. My most controversial opinion.
