@stefanorr34 dude, you're wrong, I know it, there are such things as negative electrons (positrons) which are anti matter and have the exact opposite of normal matter electrons, meaning their charge is the opposite, don't doubt that oldish smart Asian theoretical physicist, forgot his name, but check out this topic and find the video about it on BigThink, might change your mind.

@david1991rules4life There are not positive electrons. There are positrons, which are the antimatter counterpart of electrons. They have the same mass and 'spin' (what causes magnetism) as electrons BUT THEY ARE NOT POSITIVE ELECTRONS! and i was saying that electrons and those basic atomic particles are taught at school but positrons and other forms of antimatter are not taught until university level.
