An interesting idea, that the entire universe shares but a single electron:

The one-electron universe postulate, proposed by theoretical physicist John Wheeler in a telephone call to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940, is the hypothesis that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time. 

Now, I'm clearly not the guy to check the math, and - while it sounds absurd, that is generally how progress is made. Consider that if the universe is in any way to be traversed or made accessible to us it'll be a result of this sort of thinking.

One possible outcome of imagining this sort of universe is that - light having to travel the same sort of convoluted paths the electron is taking - might enable us to "exceed" the speed of light by simply ignoring the plainly laid out meandres and paths in favor of "shortcuts".

Now, on to do some research into positrons and how the One-Electron Universe might explain why most of the stars appear redshifted. In any path from the center most paths with be receding. I'm with Eddington on that, the Big-Bang just doesn't cut it...
