there can be only one electron

Actually, that's only partially true. There can only be one general electron but we can have as many local electrons as we like.

Ever wondered what kind of sub-atomic particle you are?
Now you can find out:

http://www.quizilla.com/quizzes/1096282/what-kind-of-subatomic-particle-are-you

I'm an anti-proton!!

Anti-Proton -- You are generally a homebody like the proton, but you are very disagreeable being anti-matter and all. You annihilate everything that you come into contact with. If there's not many people arround, you like to hang out with positrons.

The existence of electricity proves that sub-atomic particles are just stuff and nonsense.

But the electrons flow the wrong way they go against the current.

Electron -- You are full of energy and frentic movement. Although you have a philosophicaly "negative" outlook, people would hardly be able to tell it by looking at you. You get along well with protons and those who are positive."

Hmmm, i can jus about count, all them numbers scare me:eek: I do like quizzes tho;

Neutron -- You don't take sides, you just sort of hang out and blend into the crowd. If someone lets you loose though, you can cause some serious damage. If you are around too many other neutrons you get bored and start to decay..

and holes flow with the current

The migration of holes is also depicted in the cartoon shown in Figure 3.

Here, the chairs represent one-electron bonds,
and the students represent the additional electrons
that "migrate" to complete unsatisfied one-electron bonds.

As the electrons shift to the right,
the hole shifts to the left.

at least with electrons you have a probablilty of knowing it's somewhere.

But what's the pobability that a hole is somewhere in the 99.99999% of empty space that comprises matter and how would you find one ??

nothing is faster than photons.
electrons are faster than the nothingness that are holes
so electrons can travel faster than light !

A fair point, why should we have to put up with the second law, we never voted upon it. I say its unconstitutional !

Have you been messing with the entropy settings again?

We're sorry, this video is no longer available

That's what happens when you interfere with entropy.
