Philosophy Discussion Forums

I've actually been thinking about this one for years. I have a two-part question concerning charged particles. The questions are:

1) Do you think that the universe is neutral? Does it have an equal amount of positive and negative particles or more of one than the other type? This leads to my second question which is:

2) Is it impossible for the universe to have one charged particle?; does a negative particle require a positive particle and vice-versa?

Very difficult question to answer as the charge of a particle can change and reverse.

I'm wondering whether entanglement would apply in this area?

The charge of a particle can be interpreted as its spin, clockwise or anti-clockwise. When you change the direction of the spin, the charge is changed from one polarity to the opposite. Thus, the source of a light will be positive and the receptor of light will be negative charge.
