The electron itself still seems to be an elementary particle, nice and simple, but remember the positron? Positrons are like electrons except with a positive charge, and in fact, all the particles can have mirror images. There can be antiprotons, antineutrons, and even anti-quarks. If any of these meet their opposite, they wipe each other out, and a bundle of energy takes their place.
I don't know about you, but my head hurts.
As you can guess, any further speculation about quantum mechanics will only get more bizarre, so you can skip the rest of this chapter if you want. Any ramblings here don't necessarily lead to the conclusion in Chapter Fifteen. However, you can play around with some concepts yourself. Sometimes, one of us can have a good idea; our brains might not be stuck in a groove. Many of the great theories came from people when they were young and still flexible. Newton proposed the General Laws of Gravitation at the age of twenty-three; Einstein developed Special Relativity when he was twenty-six.
LIGHT
Quantum mechanics says measuring things affects what is being measured. We measure atom activity by sending some other kind of quantum object at the atom making it behave like a particle. Won't all light in the universe be disturbed on its way since it will likely get sideswiped by other flying particles causing a beam of light to break down into particles here and there?
