If so, why does a neutron not have a net negative charge? They must spin then, right? And neutrons are neutral because the electrons have the MONOPOLEy on the negative charge? Am I making sense? Suppose if we took away all the electrons and protons and kept the neutrons would we then be left with a net negatively charged Universe? Is all that dark-matter then anti-matter? Is that where it is, Antonio?
You are quite right
I was!It was a momentary loss of sound judgement.

kind regards michael.
