Why are all electrons the same and how do we know?

I read on an article that electrons are “all the same.” Why is that and what does that mean? How can electrons be identical? Does that apply to other elementary particles?

It gets better. There is a theory that says every electron seems identical because there is just one electron in the universe which keeps going back and forth in time.

Sean Carroll talks about it but I couldn’t find the lecture video just now.
