I cant believe you cant see that the errors are all yours

Not my fault, as said, you project the incompetency of relativity on

Yes, I said that, and therefore those particles has a wrong name,
for instance, charge inverted particles (CIP)

No you are WRONG, all proofs in math are directly related to nature,
hereby the vast area of physics, what else !!??
Physics without math is imbecility, you know that, no??

Hmm, so you are not quite up-to-date so to speak

Strange is a forbidden word in physics, what do you mean

No, you do, is, and has been clear for anyone, that i meant the
counterpart of proton, the antiproton, which by your charge definition
should relate to its electron cloud

So is not nonsense anyway, hmmm, lol thanks

You only mention charges, what more?
