Without Googling can you answer the question?

So what is electricity?
The question is very simple the answer it seems is not.

A quantum flow of electrons if my memory serves me. Electricity is everywhere including literally in our brains, in short, electricity is life.
The single electron theory tends to muddle your mind when you consider that we ourselves have intimate interaction with electricity every day just to merely exist.
One electron, everywhere at once. Figure that out...

To be picky it's not a theory but a conjecture, not even that really, more a provocative thoughtrain like "one hand clapping". It does play havoc with Jack's question right enough, or rather the answer, since as you say the flow of electricity (there is no such stuff without flow) is a movement of electrons between two points with a potential difference - and if there is but one electron then how can there be a flow of them? The only meaningful answer to Jack's far too broad question is of course 42.

it explains all that lost mass
its just traveling faster than you thought...
