It just occurred to me the difficulty might be with understanding how
the Coulomb charge is overcome.
The charge of an electron is distributed throughout its waveform.
The electron acts like a ghostly cloud of charge. The center of
charge of that cloud, for an orbital electron, is very important in
that the distance between that center of charge of the electron cloud
and the nucleus determines, creates, effects like capacitance and
piezoelectricity.
This thought then brings up the question of what holds and two sides
of the cloud together? The answer is, to understand the 2e- boson, it
does not matter. It only matters that the cloud hangs together. One
might dream up the notion that the electron cloud is merely the
vibration of a string carrying charge along its length. However, that
doesn't really jive directly with the more accepted concept of the
electron waveform being a probability waveform, a time dependent
function of event potentialities over a volume of space. It only
matters here that the waveform of an electron holds together. Being
merely a waveform, the electron has the ghostly qualities of a waveform.
Once we accept the waveform concept it is easy to see how two
electrons can overlap. If they are fully co-centered, and fully
symmetric, for every charge volume on one side of the center of
charge, the symmetric volume on the opposed side will carry exactly
the same amount of charge. Their repulsive forces will exactly
cancel to zero. The net internal (integrated) Coulomb force of an
electron, or two fully superpositioned electrons for that matter, is
exactly zero. Whatever holds an electron together holds the
superpositioned pair waveform together. The only remaining internal
force is magnetic, and that cancels if the spins are always opposed.
It is of further interest aside that acceleration of the charged
waveform does not yield a zero net internal force, and Puthoff et al
have shown that the net resulting force accounts for inertia.
The superposition of two electrons then merely amounts to the
superposition of two ghostly clouds. It is readily acceptable that
this happens in the orbitals of a large atom. It merely remains to
accept that it can happen outside an atom.
