After examining the journal: say "If all three hypothesis are true, My theory is that said particles can switch places, but the behavior of one will still direct the behaviour of the other. A possible side effect of the switch is creating an anomolous particle, as the switched particles are mirrors of their counterpart. E.g. there is a positive where a negative should be and vice versa.
