The electron does anything it likes!!! The self-righteous bastard!!! We are all subject to its whim and fancy. Why are we here today? Because the electron decided we should and made it so. It orders our meals for us and holds the doors open, like a bad date who thinks they’re chivalrous—but we know they’re just trying to get something for themselves out of it. The electron is unbridled ego. It does not send you a birthday card—it’s too preoccupied doing as it pleases. Who does the electron think they are, Higgs Boson? The fucking GOD Particle?
“The electron does anything it likes” Freeman Dyson
But the moments that the electron’s inertia seems to focus on us feel special. We get to be the center of the universe center for a moment. And those fleeting moments in the electron’s eternity are why we still invite the electron around. All that energy can’t help but rub off on us. It makes us excited that the electron’s excited. We want to bounce off of one another, unfettered, without fret or concern about the petty social niceties of doing so.
