What is the path of the positron and electron pairs ... a straight two dimension flat plane path or conical indicating a spiral in three dimensions?
that is kind of what im asking too.

in my simulation they do 3D spirals (helix), thought i think i saw some flat ones too.

i like that question because i noticed orbits do tend to settle in one plane, not sure for how long can that last, but i do not see reason for that, esspecially if there are more than 2 bodies in orbit.


thought, positron and electron should actually dematerialize each other since positron is antiparticle. the question is then - what is the size of an electron and positron, how easy is for them to collide really?
