Should not there be a "shower" of energy bursts when a positron and an electron merge? Assuming there is an attraction to do so...

"Assuming there is an attraction to do so"

That is a great question. I imagine they should attract. Then you have to get into what the fundamental nature of what 'positive' and 'negative' actually is. I know it's related to spin. Also, for what it's worth, protons are in a different category of subatomic particles than electrons. Electrons are in the lepton family. Protons, some other family/category.

Talk about "fatal attractions"!! (mutual annihilation!)

Sounds like some human relationships we hear about on the news.
