Is There a Connection Between the Corks and the Electron?
The proton and the electron are made out of particles that have fractional charges. They just seem to always add up to these integer values, which is kind of weird. E we also that it adds up to like plus one, exactly plus one, which just happens to be the opposite of the charge of the electrons. But according to our theory, those are very different things. Youre balancing completely different ingredients, and they happen to exactly balance. And in our theory, thats sort of an accident. There's some connection between the corks and the leptons, the electron that we don't understand but that's a mystery for another day.
