<b>mad science</b> by <i>Karmadelaluna</i><br />We know what the mass of an electron is

By direct experimental measurements

And we know that this is the answer

That our theory ought to give us

For the mass of an electron positive cloud

But the problems , oh the problems

They relate in a way in which an electron in quantum theory

Is not the naked particle of classical theory , no

It’s surrounded by a cloud of virtual particals

This cloud of particals must affect the mass of the electron

It is quiet possible to set up the quantum equasions

Corresponding to the electron positive cloud

But whenever these equesions are solved mathematically

They give an infinitely large number of answers

So the theorists remove the infinities from the equesions

In effect dividing one infinity by another

Mathematically if you divide infinity by infinity

You can get any answer at all

Or so they say

As long as you avoid asking what it means

There’s no problem

Ask why the world should be like this however

An even fine man has to reply :

We have no idea
