One Electron Theory
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Dr. John Archibald Wheeler was the American theoretical physicist largely responsible for the revival of interest in general relativity in the United States after World War II. He is also most famous for hypothesising the “one-electron universe”. Dr. Wheeler postulated the one-electron universe in a telephone call to Dr. Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940. This theory states that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time. Dr. Feynman said, “I received a telephone call one day at the graduate college at Princeton from Professor Wheeler, in which he said, ‘Feynman, I know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass.’ Why? ‘Because, they are all the same electron!’” The idea is based on the world lines traced out across spacetime by every electron. Rather than have myriad such lines, Dr. Wheeler suggested that they c...
