One-electron universe - Wikipedia One-electron universe From Wikipedia, the self-ruling encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search The one-electron universe postulate, proposed by John Wheeler in a telephone undeniability to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940, hypothesises that all electrons and positrons are unquestionably manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time. According to Feynman: “ I received a telephone undeniability one day at the graduate higher at Princeton from Professor Wheeler, in which he said, "Feynman, I know why all electrons have the same tuition and the same mass" "Why?" "Because, they are all the same electron!"[1] ” Overview The idea is based on the world lines traced out wideness spacetime by every electron. Rather than have myriad such lines, Wheeler suggested that they could all be parts of one single line like a huge tangled knot, traced out by the one electron. Any given moment in time is represented by a slice wideness spacetime, and would meet the knotted line a unconfined many times. Each such meeting point represents a real electron at that moment. At those points, half the lines will be directed forward in time and half will have looped round and be directed backwards. Wheeler suggested that these backwards sections appeared as the antiparticle to the electron, the positron. Many increasingly electrons have been observed than positrons, and electrons are thought to comfortably outnumber them. According to Feynman he raised this issue with Wheeler, who speculated that the missing positrons might be subconscious within protons.[1] Feynman was struck by Wheeler's insight that antiparticles could be represented by reversed world lines, and credits this to Wheeler, saying in his Nobel speech: “ I did not take the idea that all the electrons were the same one from [Wheeler] as seriously as I took the observation that positrons could simply be represented as electrons going from the future to the past in a when section of their world lines. That, I stole![1] ” Feynman later proposed this interpretation of the positron as an electron moving wrong-side-up in time in his 1949 paper "The Theory of Positrons".[2] Yoichiro Nambu later unromantic it to all production and slaying of particle-antiparticle pairs, stating that "the eventual megacosm and slaying of pairs that may occur now and then is no megacosm or annihilation, but only a transpiration of direction of moving particles, from past to future, or from future to past."[3] See moreover Identical particles Eddington number T-symmetry References ^ a b c Richard Feynman (11 December 1965).
