A positron can be broken down at room temperature.
However, the steady state of the universe shows that the negative charge-mass particle is way more stable
The formation of a single mass-negative charge particle, will forever restrict negative charge to below the speed of light.

does this mean the electron is more stable?
does that mean that negative charge can merge with mass to become one indistinguishable thing?
If the electron was shown to be two particles,
Quote from: puppypower on 07/03/2021 12:59:51does this mean the electron is more stable?No. Like I said, positrons can't be unstable because that would violate conservation of electric charge.

Even the smallest field would impart an infinite acceleration and so the two types of particles would be separated.Now, if you consider reality, there are lots of atoms and they have positively charged nuclei.So, everywhere near an atom, there's an electric field.So, if you were right about electrons being made of two parts, those parts would immediately separate as soon as the electron went anywhere near an atom.Do you see how silly your idea is, and how easy it is to use science to reject the silly idea?You too could learn science, and they you wouldn't post silly things like that.Now, obviously, that would improve the forum.So I wonder why you post nonsense.Do you like being laughed at?
Protons and neutrons are made of quarks, but electrons aren't. As far as we can tell, quarks and electrons are fundamental particles, not built out of anything smaller. ... You can't have half a quark or one-third of an electron.
That's still wrong. Positrons are every bit as stable as electrons.
If positrons are really as stable as electrons, why aren't positrons a feature of everyday life.
I mean, why don't we power our electrical devices with positronic currents, instead of electrons.
Is this because electrons are solid reliable particles, which always exist to go through our everyday wires, whereas "positrons" are rarer products of nuclear experiments.
You cannot treat these as two particles

I've already pointed out why they cannot decay.
If Protons had been created as a pair with Antiproton while electron had been created with its Positron pair, how could it be that our universe is full with Hydrogen Atoms but there are no Anti-Hydrogen Atoms?

If you look at fundamental particles; quarks, the electron is considered a separate particle. While the proton is composed of several particles.
So do you agree that the great mystery of the universe had been solved by puppypower' explanation.
As there is no way in our Universe to get a pair of molecule
It seems that puppypower had already solved that mystery.
As there is no way in our Universe to get a pair of molecule then there is no way to get a pair of proton + antiproton.
Therefore, there are no antiprotons or Anti-Hydrogen Atoms in our Universe.
So do you agree that the this mystery had been solved by puppypower' explanation.

Yes, the proton is composite- but not a molecule- that's just you trying to use "sciencey sounding words" .The antiproton is also composite.
Quote from: Dave Lev on 25/03/2021 20:45:58 there is no way to get a pair of proton + antiproton.That's so wrong that the guys who actually did it got a Nobel prize."The antiproton was first experimentally confirmed in 1955 at the Bevatron particle accelerator by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics.
