They don't bash electrons together; electrons are much too small for that. Normally larger particles are smashed together, like atomic neuclei.

Why do we have to think that this electron is moving through spacetime? With the 9(?) other dimensions that String Theory has given us, I would think that it could be passing through any subset of them. My impression is that thinking this

My Thinkpad X300 running Linux is about as perfect a PC as you can get[1], except for the missing SD card slot. Then Apple came out with the Air and Lenovo just lapped it up. I'm sure the X1 Carbon is nice, but it wieghs the same as

I have a problem with the image of 'a single electron on a twisty path through spacetime' that you are describing. The image in my mind is the vibrating, twisty path /out there/, not necessarily in spacetime. Through t

But the article is talking about a single electron on a twisted path that is intersected by the projection surface[1] of reality. Your statement (1) depends on the existence of multiple electrons, where the whole idea of this article idea i

Part Feynman's idea is that that the electron when travelling backwards through the slicing plane (current moment) become positive electrons that are travelling backwards in time. This then leads people to ask, where are all the posit

Firemacs is decent, but still has a few hangups: https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/Firemacs It's the closest thing to a real editor on the I've been able to find.

No, I want a real editor inside my browser.

Now that we've learned from 'Emacs as Operating System', how about we move into the future. As the saying goes, "Emacs is a great OS but it's got a crappy text editor". "Firefox/Chrome is a great OS b
