They are fundamental subatomic particles that carry a negative electric charge. Remember: an atom is formed by a nuclei with protons and neutrons ( positive and neutral electric charges) and electrons flying arround in a kinda cloud.

The electron is a fundamental subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge. It is a spin-½ lepton that participates in electromagnetic interactions, and its mass is less than one thousandth of that of the smallest atom. Its electric charge is defined by convention to be negative, with a value of â1 in atomic units. Together with atomic nuclei, electrons make up atoms; their interaction with adjacent nuclei is the main cause of chemical bonding.

As they pop in and out of existence (Our known perception of existence), while orbiting the nuclei of an atom, what is an electron really?? Could it be the fundamental drive this universe works under, could it be "God" interacting with all matter.
What are electrons???
