I've been reading about the fascinating phenomenon of a spinning
massive black hole having plasma jets (its 'top' and 'bottom'). But
before I share with you more about it, can I throw out a
thought?
If a positron is like an electron but with opposite
spin and opposite charge and is (per Dr. Feynman) like an electron
going backwards in time, is there an inherent violation of the speed
of light (Special Theory of Relativity) going on here in the case when
a positron and a electron collide? Gamma rays are said to for when
matter (an electron) and antimatter (a positron) collide... take the
case when a Gamma ray 'turns into' a positron and an electron ... at
that instance - would it necessitate that the positron come from the
future in something akin to traveling faster than light? I've asked
this question of several librarians (local public library,
university or research lab librarians, and where I work - the
librarian there) and have asked some physicists - so far no real
answer. I've come to realize that matter/anti-matter particles have
CPT invariance - time invariance. It should seem the same whether
going forward in time or backward in time. Thanks for reading and
please post your earnest responses.
