Richard Feynman came out with the idea that the whole universe is made up of a single electron whizzing through time at a considerable rate no doubt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe) so, i guess in that case, the mass of the universe would stay constant at one electron. Which then would presumably become infinite at any moment in time as it comprised of the whole universe ?

That would be fun but I don't buy it. nothing can move that fast

Feynman was merely stating a possibility left open by quantum theory.

A positron can be viewed as an electron moving backward through time. This lets the electron "get there" without having to move so fast LOL!
