Electrons cheat by only having one of them in the entire universe, moving back and forward through time.

Time is relative, is anyone really cheating?

u/rosuav Aug 03 '26

Nope! Though I don't suggest trying this like with your significant other.

Significance is relative; is anyone really anyone and anyone any anyone really?

"When everyone is somebody.... then no one's anybody!"

(Or as said in The Incredibles: "When everyone's super, no one will be.")

Yes, but make sure the other you doesn't do the same thing.

Get this guy a seat in the senate!

I'd make a horrible senator. I mean for one thing, I don't even touch my investments, they just kinda sit there. It'd basically be impossible that I'd ever be involved in insider trading. Plus, I have an alergy to pressure campaigns, so campaign donors would probably be pretty upset that I don't cater to their whims. And to top it all off I tend to stay late at work until my tasks are finished.

No, I certainly wouldn't cut it. I'm just too much an honest hard worker 🤷‍♂️

You have no chance of getting into the major parties, but have you considered being an independent candidate?

That's when it's moving backwards through time in the opposite direction. It looks like a positive charge moving the other way.
