You know how when you put magnet faces together with the same polarity, they push against each other. If you squeeze them together they will pop away. When an atom has an extra electron, it makes its charge more negative. If all of the atoms have extra electrons, all of their charges will be more negative. Now imagine every single atom in the universe was suddenly the same polarity and began pushing all other atoms away. I’ll let your imagination take over from there.
Oh, I see. I read it wrong at first. I thought it was saying add one electron total, I didn’t realize it meant one to each atom. It makes a lot more sense now.
Same. And it sounded so silly I could imagine the look of hatred. But this explanation makes more sense.
Yeah, my first thought was “does that just break supersymmetry or something? What happens then?”
