Well. I'm glad I got a response to that comment ;) I was being a little sarcastic.
I was actually referring to the state of the DUG. Seeing as this is DUG. How many positively charged memebers of the group are there compared to negatively charged members of the group. Those were three interesting ways of analyzing a bizarre comment by me though. I think I may take up Neven's answer an have a looksee at those books. Sound interesting. My comments stemmed from the last email I sent as an attempt to infuse some positive dialog from the dug. Immediately followed by another problem regarding the IDE. One can only try :) I got more comments from being insane than from submitting some (possibly interesting) code.

I would assume there would be about the same number of electrons. But I'm a bit behind on my astrophysics, I use to read a lot of popular science books, but this new stuff about dark energy and the universe accelerating faster and faster as time goes on sounds a bit weird to me. My guess would be that there are about the same number of protons as electrons - charge is something that seems to be preserved (Technically it's Charge, Parity and Time). There are, however other particles that are charged. So assuming that the universe does not have an overall charge, there should be approximately the same number of protons as electrons - the exception being some of these other less commonly known particles making up the difference. Are there any particle physicists that can clear this up (and probably set me wrong)?
