Abstract

In the contemporary age of everincreasing influence of electronic media as much as on an individual psyche as on the society as a whole, it would be of great value to undertake a detailed analysis of the very foundation of that means of communication: the electron. This means also re-evaluating the notions of modern physics on the nature of matter, most importantly the notions of the quantum field theory and general theory of relativity. Some of the questions discussed are: what is an electron, what does it mean to say it is an elementary particle and, in general, what is the meaning of the notion of the elementary particle? Also, how are signals transmitted via particles, so how is telecommunication possible, and wirelessly? What is the meaning and nature of physical interaction?
