- Richard Feinman described a positron as an electron moving
- backward in time. Based on this description, a student devised a
- graph to illustrate this point. It depicts a line (time) across
- which the electron/positron's curvy world line crosses back and
- forth in an irregular fashion.
-
- Now, if we think of the electron/positron's world line as
- resembling a spring, we visualize this little critter flipping
- into and out of our relativity and the continuum as it travels
- along its "spiraling" world line or path. (The seeming
- irregularity in the path of the student's graph is dependent
- upon the angle along the spiral at which the electron is
- "observed".) What does this signify? It seems that the electron
- that we can observe in our time frame continually crosses back
- and forth into the "all time" or continuum, at one point an
- electron and at the other point a positron. The positron has also
- been likened to a "hole" in the continuum. It is more like a
- "shadow" mirror image and holographic template for the electron
- we perceive in the matter world. It is important to look at the
- actual structure of the electron - the structure of the Hopf
- button with two "time tunnels" opposed at 45 degrees to each
- other. (The "X" in M 51). We "perceive" both tunnels due to
- "slowed" time of distance. [See Fig.12 & 13]
