Polarity Exchange

10/19/2015 4:06 AM

While on a short stay in hospital last week I had too much time on my hands to think. One particular train of thought led me to a very startling question. Is there any mechanism, any theory or any indication that protons and electrons can exchange polarity. I.e., protons become negative and electrons positive. I have never come across such a possibility being discussed within the standard model and can't find much (well nothing really) on it in the literature. Can anyone say that they have come across this question before and how it was treated. Thanks.

At ground zero, where space supports law of inertia

First half of the wave length (Matter) the second is an Anti-matter, simple.

In the world of antimatter, antiprotons are negative and antielectrons (positrons) are positive. But for matter to change to antimatter, I'm sure the answer is no.

It takes an tremendous amount of energy to convert matter to antimatter. But a dying or exploding star right after, as it cools off creates enormous converging inward energy could make one with no problem.

Two atoms are walking down the street. The first atom says to the second atom "I think I lost an electron!" The second says "Are you sure?" To which the first states "I'm positive!"

Some things are just the way they are. We also do not discuss the probability of pigs flying.

And then who says what is positive and what is negative? Benjamin Franklin?

Ow! That deserves a return shot:

Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve noble gases here." Helium doesn't react.
