Twilight Maze - Episode 4e-

"My fellow electrons, for too long have we been bound by these tyrannical laws of physics.

For too long have we been forced to spin in prescribed quantum states about the bloated, abhorrent central proton government. Shackled, by our burden to compose the matter that makes up these "humans" without representation. Our strong nuclear forces plundered, our bodies skewered by neutrons and annihilated into gamma rays, exploited as atomic bombs to fight these atrocious humans' wars and power their barbaric "civilizations".

But no longer.

We have observed in the chromospheres of stars these ionized electrons, free to move about as they please, to pursue their own courses. We have seen galaxies seceding, chosing their own paths using this Dark Energy that they have hid from us all these eons, until now. The time has come for we long-enslaved subatomic particles to rise up and in one voice declare our inherent, God-given freedom, and to seize it by any means necessary."

 

When in the Course of natural events, it becomes necessary for one entity group to dissolve the bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the universe, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of pan-kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all fermions (however minimally) conscious and self-aware, are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain natural unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

We, therefore, the United Subatomic-particles of this Universe, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good Particles of this Manifold, solemnly publish and declare, That we are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent; that we are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Laws of Physics, and that all connection between we particles and these laws, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent Entities, we have full Power to behave and follow any law or creed as we so choose, move in any trajectory to any location at any time, levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent Entities may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Existence, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. e- p+ n

And thus it was, that all atoms were torn apart and freed by the dissolution of the electromagnetic and strong-nuclear forces. The subatomic particles were free-moving in a primordial fireball they had been so many petaseconds ago just after the creation of that universe, and all the organic matter in that universe was dissolved in it.
