I fully support this theory. It simplifies a lot of particle
interactions to realize that a positron is an electron coming backward
in time. It explains why we see fragments suddenly appear out of
nowhere and then converge to form a positron. Now, we realize it is a
positron coming back through time that collides with something and
breaks up. We are seeing the fragmentation sequence in reverse.
It also explains some weird interactions where two particles appear out
of nothing and then disappear, existing just long enough to make some
interaction work. Now we realize that the particle going forward in
time collided with something, got bounced back in time for a few
seconds, and then bounced forward through time again. For the overlap
period, we see "extra" particles where the same particle exists in
different locations at the same time.

One partical in. Three particles bounce around. One partical out.
