Question: What is the definition of electron? Even electron or proton has charge, what does it mean?
By Anjani Yadav
Answer:
The electron is a subatomic particle carrying a negative electric charge. It has no known components or substructure. Therefore, the electron is generally believed to be an elementary particle. An electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.
In the Standard Model of particle physics, electrons belong to the group of subatomic particles called leptons, which are believed to be fundamental or elementary particles. Electrons have the lowest mass of any charged lepton (or electrically charged particle of any type) and belong to the first-generation of fundamental particles.
Electric charge is a physical property of matter which causes it to experience a force when kept near to other electrically charged matter. Electric charge comes in two types, called positive and negative. Two positively charged substances, or objects, experience a mutual repulsive force, as do two negatively charged objects. Positively charged objects and negatively charged objects experience an attractive force. As electron and proton both experience a force (either attractive or repulsive) they are called charged particles.

What do you think about one-electron universe? Your views, comments and definitions?
actually this hypothesis was proposed by great physicists like wheeler and feynman.And as a matter of fact I know nothing appreciable about this.
