The number of electrons and protons stays the same? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production Pair production is the creation of a subatomic particle and its antiparticle from a neutral boson. Examples include creating an electron and a positron, a muon and an antimuon, or a proton and an antiproton. Pair production often refers specifically to a photon creating an electron–positron pair near a nucleus. In 2008 the Titan laser aimed at a 1-millimeter-thick gold target was used to generate positron–electron pairs in large numbers. That "there is only one electron in the universe. All these electrons we see are just the same electron weaving through space and time" would explain telepathy and precognition. @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
