Why The Universe Only Has ONE Electron - Feynman's Craziest Theory

Описание: #Physics #QuantumMechanics #RichardFeynman
Do you believe there are around 10⁸⁰ electrons filling the stars, galaxies, and even the cells in your own body?
What if that number is completely wrong?
Not because we miscalculated—but because reality itself is playing a trick on us. The truth is deeply unsettling and strangely elegant: there may be only one electron in the entire universe.
In this video, inspired by one of Richard Feynman’s most famous thought experiments, we dive into the astonishing One-Electron Universe idea. Every electron we’ve ever measured has the exact same mass, charge, and spin. Most physicists accept this as a brute fact of nature. But John Wheeler—Feynman’s mentor—proposed something far more radical: all electrons are actually the same particle, moving back and forth through time, endlessly looping from the beginning of the universe to its end. When that particle moves backward in time, we observe it as a positron.
Struggling to picture it? Think of a single, impossibly long strand of string twisted into a chaotic knot. Now slice straight across it—this cut represents the present moment. You’ll see countless small points where the blade intersects the string. To us, those points look like many separate electrons. But step outside time and view the whole structure, and the illusion collapses: it’s just one continuous thread, weaving through spacetime in an intricate pattern.
This idea attacks one of our deepest assumptions—the belief that things are fundamentally separate. If this picture is even partly true, the boundary between “me” and “you,” “here” and “there,” is a convenient fiction. At the deepest level of quantum electrodynamics, the universe may not be made of isolated pieces at all, but of a single entity performing an infinite dance across time.
