Do you think science will ever be able to make bigger electrons?

No, but it will make your penis bigger.

And the purpose of that would be...?

Oh, you know...

>> No.1809988

it's an elementary particle. unless we're completely wrong... no

>> No.1809992

volume of electron = 0
infinty * volume of electron = 0

i think so

>> No.1810001

The first thing to do if you want to make it bigger is to catch it.

The matter is that, if you catch it, its speed becomes 0, and then you don't know where it is anymore, because of Heisenberg.

So I guess it's impossible, because you can't technically catch an electron.

you don't "catch" electrons, you observe them

>>1810001
gotta catch 'em all

>> No.1810074

It already has. Muons and tauons are examples of 'bigger electrons' which humanity has synthesised.

Further, It remains possible that even heavier giant electron-like particles exist.

Also, if a theory of sub-lepton structure ever emerges, then since any size is greater than zero, yes, we may indeed be able to 'make bigger electrons'.

Yes, they're called anti-protons.
Prove me wrong.

i thought if you knew more about its momentum you knew less about its location :S
would you mind summing up Heinsenberg to a law student who learnt most their quantum physics on wikipedia?

>> No.1810188

>>1810174
it's a physical law which as of recently can be broken.
