Electron-Ness: Why Are All Electrons Identical?

Go to your nearby store and purchase a few things of a similar item - state a bundle of three golf balls. Despite the fact that the golf balls seem indistinguishable, closer assessment will uncover slight contrasts. One ball possibly partially bigger; another marginally less round; maybe the third is somewhat lighter. The consensus that reaches out from this is any two apparently indistinguishable items will have by and by slight varieties in their properties. 

Presently purchase a parcel of three electrons (or their antimatter proportional, the positron). Every electron, or positron, will be indistinguishable in size, mass and electric charge to the same number of decimal spots as you want to quantify. All electrons (and positrons) are 100% completely 
indistinguishable clones. 




Take one electron and one positron and unite them. They obliterate discharging a fixed measure of vitality. Take another electron and another positron and rehash the situation. The pair will obliterate discharging an indistinguishable measure of vitality all the while. The measure of vitality discharged in every electron-positron obliteration case is the equivalent, to the same number of decimal spots as you can gauge. That is very not normal for taking a match from a container of matches, striking same and discharging its put away synthetic vitality as warmth vitality. Another match from a similar box wouldn't discharge, to the same number of decimal spots as you want to gauge, the completely indistinguishable measure of warmth vitality. 

Why indistinguishable golf balls aren't nevertheless indistinguishable electrons (or positrons) are? 

Electrons (or positrons), having mass, can be made from vitality (simply like mass can be changed over to vitality as on account of the electron-positron obliteration process). You (human knowledge) can't make indistinguishable golf balls, yet an apparently non-smart regular procedure (Mother Nature by some other name) can make or produce duplicates of a crucial molecule, similar to an electron (or positron), that are clones of each other down to the nittiest-grittiest detail. 

Indeed, even with quantum mechanics in power, you'd figure vitality could make or be changed over into an electron with double the standard electron mass or double the electric charge, or threefold even. In any case, no. You see one electron you've seen them all - each electron that is, was or will be, anyplace, all over the place, whenever, each time in our Universe. Electrons, similar to Black Holes, have no hair. That implies they have no individual character. Indeed Black Holes can be said to have some fluff since they can and do contrast as far as size, mass and electric charge. Electrons have precisely the same size, mass and electric charge, so positively no hair! Comparative with Black Holes, electrons (and positrons) are totally uncovered! 

Summoning everything quantum is still somewhat of a cop-out in that while quantum implies things are either, one unit or two, one vitality level or two vitality levels, there's no clarification with respect to why it's just a couple of, not one and a half. It simply is, however why stays a puzzle. 

For what reason are altogether electrons (and positrons) indistinguishable? 

1) obviously THE cop-out answer is that that is only the manner in which God needed it and no correspondence will be gone into with respect to the issue. 

Lamentably, there is no genuine proof for the presence of any divinity past or potentially present that faces any nitty gritty investigation. 

2) One could fall back on a clarification by means of string hypothesis converged with quantum material science. String hypothesis just replaces basic particles as meager billiard balls for basic small amounts of string (yet not string as we probably am aware it). Presently perhaps, as in everything quantum, these strings can be one unit long, or two units, or three units, or four units, and so on. Any positive entire number various of one string length is alright. Presently state that a two length unit of string is an electron. A two unit length of hostile to string is in this way a positron. 

Or on the other hand, one can propose that strings vibrate and can just vibrate at explicit frequencies as any artist playing a stringed instrument knows. Thus, a string vibrating at one permitted recurrence is an electron; on the off chance that it vibrates at another admissible recurrence perhaps that is a proton or a neutron. Once more, a vibrating against issue string would create signs of the antimatter particles, a positron being endless supply of the reasonable vibrating frequencies. 

Of the two prospects, it's the vibration rate hypothesis that is liked. All strings are of a similar principal length - their pace of vibration can vary, however at exact spans. What makes strings vibrate at the rate they do, and how they can change paces of vibration (transform from one sort of molecule into others) are questions better left for some other time. 

Shockingly, string hypothesis has no believability as far as any real exploratory proof, and, to compound an already painful situation, it requires the proposition of ten to eleven measurements so as to fit the pieces together. In the event that string hypothesis gets some test runs on the load up, at that point, and at exactly that point, will it be an ideal opportunity to pay attention to strings. 

3) Well, one other conceivable clarification is that all electrons are completely indistinguishable in light of the fact that there is just a single electron in real presence. On the off chance that you see a similar article twice, threefold of a zillion occasions over, at that point it's a similar item and the way that it is reliably indistinguishable is certainly not an extraordinary puzzle. Be that as it may, in what capacity can the Universe contain just a single electron? That is by all accounts the least evident proclamation anybody would ever make - the announcement of an absolute psycho. 

All things considered, one clarification goes something like this. Our one electron has dashed to and fro between the Alpha and Omega focuses once more, and once more, and once more. Presently increase 'once more' by zillions upon tons of times. At the point when you take a cross segment at any 'now' point in time between the Alpha and the Omega, there will be zillions upon tons of electrons obvious 'at this point'. Straightforward, right? 

Sadly, while there is no infringement of physical laws at the small scale level in going through time (aside from going ahead at a pace of one second of the second which we do in any case), no accurate causality system has been proposed to clarify how and why a rudimentary molecule changes gear into time opposite (or forward once more). 

Back to the first inquiry, for what reason are on the whole electrons indistinguishable? Or on the other hand not, by and large. 

4) Perhaps in other equal universes, ones that have various material science, all electrons (on the off chance that they have electrons by any stretch of the imagination) probably won't be indistinguishable. That chance is likened to getting some information about quantities of heavenly attendants moving on pinheads. There's simply no chance to get of ever knowing since equal universes are past the range of science as we probably am aware it. 

In any case, say every individual from the molecule zoo weren't indistinguishable from each other part in kind. State electrons arrived in a thousand varieties of mass and electric charge; same the other rudimentary particles. You'd have a molecule wilderness. On the off chance that that were the situation, apparently it would end up being extremely hard to make indistinguishable particles of the components and indistinguishable sub-atomic mixes and eventually it would demonstrate hard to develop the structure of our Universe as we probably am aware it, including us. A similarity may be that it's far simpler to amass a ten piece jigsaw puzzle and one with a billion pieces. Our molecule zoo is by all accounts a Goldilocks zoo - not very numerous particles and varieties thereof; not to few it is possible that (I mean a universe made out of simply indistinguishable electrons is similarly as awful for life as we probably am aware it). Obviously if that - the Goldilocks molecule zoo - weren't in this way, we wouldn't be here to consider the issue. 

Proceeding onward up the chain, accepting all individuals from the molecule zoo are indistinguishable then iotas of a specific component must be indistinguishable - on the off chance that you've seen one gold particle, you've seen them all (however claiming them everything is a serious diverse issue). On the off chance that components come in various isotopes, at that point all the particular isotope iotas of that component are indistinguishable. 

Further proceeding onward up the chain, on the off chance that indistinguishable iotas consolidate with other diverse indistinguishable particles, at that point apparently the subsequent atoms will be indistinguishable. While that is valid, it's just obvious to a limited extent, in light of the fact that in the long run you can get particles that while apparently indistinguishable, have handedness. That is, your hands, while indistinguishable, aren't indistinguishable in light of the fact that one has a left-gave direction; different has a right-gave direction. That is the point things begin to self-destruct or separate. 

That separated, full scale objects, similar to golf balls, are made out of a large number of particles as well as atoms. On the off chance that a golf ball has one more, or one less particle than another, well the two aren't indistinguishable. 

5) Introducing the maths association: Here, there and all over, on a level surface, the briefest separation between two focuses is a straight line; triangles have an aggregate 180 degrees; 2 + 2 = 4. For each situation, it is so to the same number of decimal spots as you want to compute. Each 7 is indistinguishable from each other 7 - no more and no less. That is genuine whether one is managing base ten, or in paired (base two). 

So what's the association? All PC produced reenactments, in whatever specific circumstance, for whatever reason for existing, are at last programming programs, which thusly are simply numerical developments. All you see are at last articulations of maths, of parallel bits, of 0's and 1's, something on or off. So on the off chance that you reproduce some article utilizing double programming, and you make another item utilizing precisely the same twofold programming coding, at that point those two virtual items are indistinguishable. Presently, call what you have reproduced, 'electrons'. So if all electrons are indistinguishable, possibly this is on the grounds that they are numerical developments - the finished results of PC programming/programming.
In recreations, virtual items can associate with other virtual articles (progressively scientific wizardry). Change occurs. Indeed, that is the thing that we see in our world as well. The inquiry is, is our existence extremely genuine reality, or reproduced reality? Are our electrons indistinguishable in light of the fact that each is the result of an indistinguishable bit of double programming? That may not conclusively be the appropriate response, however it's an answer. Electrons are the equivalent since they are completely built from the equivalent scientific entire fabric of parallel bits - of 0's and 1's. 

Conversation: One may contend that there are in reality contrasts among electrons (and positrons), we simply haven't estimated to enough decimal places yet. While that may be valid, I for one wouldn't have any desire to wager on it. 

End: I began with the topic of why all electrons are indistinguishable. The appropriate response is, I don't have the foggiest idea and neither one of the is, suspect does any other individual. In any case, the establishment of material science (itself the establishment for different sciences) is grounded in maths, and maths, as noted above, has no issue with the idea. Every indistinguishable condition yield indistinguishable outcomes; the 'rises to' sign itself requests indistinguishable quality. Maybe maths has increasingly central 'reality' than anybody has given it kudos for. That is positively the situation on the off chance that we ought to happen to possess a product created, recreated Universe 

Postscript: The idea of indistinguishable quality can bring us into some unusual logical and philosophical domain. Two individuals inspecting a similar article won't consent to the Nth degree that the item viable is precisely the same article, an indistinguishable item, when thought about from every individual's point of view. Observation is at last a component of mind science and no two individuals have precisely the same cerebrum science because of different variables like hereditary qualities, age, physiology, ailment, exhaustion, as well as admissions of different strong, fluid and vaporous components and aggravates that legitimately influence cerebrum science. The distinctions might be extremely minuscule and nitpicky yet all things considered present. To take another case, if three court transcribers all record and translate a days worth of declaration, no uncertainty there will be slight contrasts in the last three forms. 

Indeed, even a similar individual encountering a similar article or occasion a second, third, and so forth time - state watching a film again or tuning in to a CD track once more, won't have indistinguishable encounters, again because of the interior cerebrum science being somewhat extraordinary on each event. That is separated from the way that outside impacts like temperature, dampness, weight, and general mileage (entropy) all influence that article or occasion and the earth between that object/occasion and the individual encountering the item/occasion. Those outer factors additionally change from second to second. 

Individuals however will in general concur (mind science not withstanding) on what an autonomous umpire says about an article or occasion - the free umpire being an instrument or estimating gadget. Instruments are obviously additionally dependent upon outer impacts, however aren't influenced by mind science - they have no cerebrums! 

Estimations will in general be numerical, and numbers are really straight forward. Be that as it may, all estimations are dependent upon some vulnerability or blunder edges, particularly simple gadgets like a ruler - is it 1.510 cm or 1.511 cm or 1.509 cm? Or then again a thermometer - is it perusing 31.37 degrees or 31.38 degrees or 31.36 degrees? Or on the other hand take a standard watch or clock - is it 12:00:00 or 12:00:01 or 11:59:59? 

Computerized instruments anyway have readouts that have a limited number of spots wherein to show the outcome, so they don't will in general give you a give or take vulnerability blunder bar. An advanced instrument will readout that the length IS 1.510 cm; the temperature IS 31.37 degrees; the time IS 12:00:00, and everybody taking a gander at the readout will concur. 

On account of an electron, the autonomous umpire gives the equivalent numerical outcomes for every electron it measures. Obviously there are still mistake bars, yet with each further decimal spot came to, indistinguishable quality holds and the blunder bars get less and less.
