Abstract
This chapter deals with such fascination subjects as the crystallization of electrons and the stability of matter. Do electrons crystallize? If so, what are their properties? How can matter consisting of positive and negative charges exist without collapsing? These fundamental and intriguing questions make the theory of electrons very attractive and important.
