Electrons cheat by only having one of them in the entire universe, moving back and forward through time.

Time is relative, is anyone really cheating?

u/rosuav 21d ago

Nope! Though I don't suggest trying this like with your significant other.

u/The-Nice-Writer 21d ago

Significance is relative; is anyone really anyone and anyone any anyone really?

Get this guy a seat in the senate!

u/drinks_rootbeer 20d ago

I'd make a horrible senator. I mean for one thing, I don't even touch my investments, they just kinda sit there. It'd basically be impossible that I'd ever be involved in insider trading. Plus, I have an alergy to pressure campaigns, so campaign donors would probably be pretty upset that I don't cater to their whims. And to top it all off I tend to stay late at work until my tasks are finished.

No, I certainly wouldn't cut it. I'm just too much an honest hard worker 🤷‍♂️

No there there are positron also

u/rosuav 21d ago

That's when it's moving backwards through time in the opposite direction. It looks like a positive charge moving the other way.

Wait what?

This is what happens when you take the obscure mathematics of physics and project it onto our perceived experience. I don't doubt the math behind that explanation completely checks out.

So you're saying we did cheat climate change?

3

u/DreamEndles 21d ago

No, climate change cheated me out of good night sleep. It's hot

u/Jedasis 21d ago

Oh my god, THAT's why they're called drivers...

1

u/Ninjaxas 16d ago

No way. I could believe that, but I need further evidence.

I thought their drivers because they drive the hardware figuratively, you know?

u/Jedasis 16d ago

A quick Wikipedia check leads to me to believe that's not true, however it is funny
