Do all electrons actually have the exact same mass? If so, why? How is it possible that their mass is exactly the same?

Because they're all really the same electron.

Has this been proven? Or is it just a meme theory?

Well, if someone can measure the position of two electrons that do not occupy the same position at the exact same time then that would prove that there is more than one electron. According to some this is not possible

Bumping for interest

but also all carbon atoms have the same mass

Does that apply for quarks? For same quarks?

What are quarks made of? Will we ever figure out the fundamental particle?

What are the things quarks are made of made of?

The fuck? I've never heard of this one before.

>all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time

How high do you have to be to come up with stuff like this?

maybe elecron speed other hand depends acceleration tougher show a electron stationary though a atom is sphere of electrons

What?

Why would they be different?

Has anyone even ever gone as far as to?

Dumb frogposter.

It's how physicists justify taking your tax dollars despite the fact they have discovered everything useful there is to know.

If this is true, we should observe an equal number of electrons and positrons. This is not the case.

How do we know what 80% of the positrons havent just fucked off to some distant galaxy?

Seems no one can really answer this. I guess we could also ask the same about protons, why do they always have the same mass?

How is that true? Wouldn't the average atomic mass of Carbon on the Periodic Table be a whole number in that case? Right now, it's ~12.011, meaning there must be SOME confirmed cases of Carbons with atomic mass 12 and 13, right?

variation is too hard on such a small scale

of two atoms have the same isotope composition they have the same weight

An "electron" is really just a type of information. Just like all 6s in a computer are represented by 110, all electrons in the universe are represented by the same pattern of information.

The universe is just information. Outside of your mind, there is no physicality or appearance of anything.

The number on the periodic table is the average based on the distribution of isotopes in the environment. So if element Qw has a weight of 36 and an isotope of it that is 50% abundant has a weight of 38 the reported number would be 37.

If photons don't have matter and are pure energy what makes u think an electronic would?

Does this even make sense to you? There's one electron and one positron in your opinion. But 80% of this one positron went to a distant galaxy? How dumb are you?

>Do all electrons actually have the exact same mass? If so, why? How is it possible that their mass is exactly the same?

Because they are stable.

Wow, this thread went off the rails really fast.

OP, it's pretty simple. All elementary particles have the same properties as their brethren. I.E. All protons are identical, all neutrons are identical, all quarks (of a given type) are identical. These are the building blocks of reality. Why would they have an arbitrary mass? When we measure the mass of an object, we're really just asking the question: "how many protons and neutrons and electrons make up this object".

I disagree. The universe is physical. Don't confuse our models of the universe with the universe itself. Our model of an electron is not the same as a real electron. In our model, it may be merely a piece of information. In the universe, it is an entity.

Science is great at prediction, but we will never know what a proton, for example, truly IS.

we will never know what our predicted model of an electron really is
