Eureka! The grand electron is more a wave (field) that spans the known universe, but if one looks too closely (via experimental detection), it becomes a mere particle.

That's the weird world/reality of quantum physics. And it's quite counter-initiative. And that's all folks!

Everything is energy, and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way.” Albert Einstein.

Remark: Because of energy, one should never underestimate or rule out string theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory) .

This got to be bizarre nonsense... Quantum physics is weird but not so weird to suggest a one-electron universe. Your assumption seems to suggest that other particles of the Standard Model are also fields too... This cannot be!!

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the idea of a one-electron universe where the grand electron is a wave(field)... blah blah.

Could QFT support 'a one-electron universe'?

### Re: Making Sense of the One-Electron Universe

I have never seen the phrase "grand electron" before!

Shortly after the discovery of the positron, there was a suggestion (by Dirac I think) that the positron was an electron moving backwards in time and that there was, in fact, only one electron in the universe, moving back and forth in time over and over again. That is what I thought you meant by "One-Electron Universe".

That idea has been modified:

"The grand electron ("One-Electron Universe") is more a wave (field) that spans the known universe, but if one looks too closely (via experimental detection), it becomes a mere particle..."

Could Quantum field theory (QFT) support such an idea?
