You seem to be up to date with this stuff; did we find out whether there's more than one yet..?

Personally don't like the idea of everyone reusing the same electon for everything... seems quite unhygienic. I'd rather we had at least one per person, maybe share it with people we trust, if we must...

We have to recycle nowadays. Besides we can't have people throwing away perfectly good electrons. They could end up anywhere.

I've heard this weird concept repeated over and over but I've never once run across it in literature or in speaking to my particle physicist friend. Can you provide a source?

Thank you for the link. It makes sense I haven't heard too much on it. More a postulation than a theory. And kind of untestable/ philosophical too.
