This is reminiscent of the one-electron universe postulate. It's an idea that John Wheeler proposed to Richard Feynman via telephone wherein all electrons and positrons (the antimatter equivalent of the electron) are manifestations of the exact same particle traveling back and forth through spacetime. It seemed plausible because while antimatter is typically described as charge-reversed matter, for all mathematical intents and purposes, this is the exact same thing as being ordinary matter traveling backward through time.
Antimatter might very well still turn out to be just that, but the one-electron universe postulate itself has been all but disproven. It's one of my favorite ideas all the same.

May well be what I was thinking of, just remember hearing something like it and thinking it was interesting
