Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Single Electron Hypothesis: An In-Depth Examination of Its Viability and Limitations
Samuel Okoye

This paper provides a critical review of the Single Electron Hypothesis (SEH), which proposes that all electrons are manifestations of a single particle moving through space and time. By examining its theoretical foundations, mathematical consistency, and experimental evidence—such as particle collisions and the double-slit experiment—the study demonstrates SEH's inability to reconcile with quantum field theory and observed phenomena like pair production. The analysis highlights key contradictions, including violations of charge conservation and Dirac’s time-reversal symmetry, ultimately concluding that modern quantum mechanics offers more robust frameworks. The work underscores the importance of empirical validation in theoretical physics while guiding future research toward viable alternatives.
