Looking for some info on a theory I heard about...

Ok, I dont remember what the theory was called, my brother was telling me about it. These scientest were conducting tests on electrons, and they found out that they might not have existed at all. Sound familiar to anyone? Please help out if you can.

Not really.

Perhaps are referring to the fact that electrons are so small their location can never be known or measured exactly. (Viewing them moves them around). Instead there is a region where the electron is likely to be.

I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to.

Perhaps M or superstring theory? Science (ei anything involving even a basic component of math) scares me.

These two scientist were messing around with electrons, and when they did one test with them there were no electrons, however when they went to detect them with a machine, the electrons just "appeared" there in the pattern they thought it should be. In otherwords the electrons only existed because the scientist thought they did.
