in the Hilbert space
picture all possible configurations laid out in a grid
yeah i can kind of imagine pockets where time curves around it or something. so we can't see the intermediate state. i dunno.
uhuh
connected by how many differences each configuration has
yes theres intermediate states that can never be observed those are virtual particles in a feynman diagram
`quantum judaism`
honestly if jews stick to STEM im happy for them
better than subverting society
judeo negro quantum scamming
lol subverting reality
gib quantum grants
nah i have no qualms with feynman, that guy was golden. i've read some of his books.
a virtual particle is one that isnt observed its interior on the feynman diagram
like these virtual electron circles
Hol' up
So you bee sayin
whats beautiful about feynman diagrams is they make the symmetry of space and time manifestly obvious
it's like:
A ----- (something happens) ----- B
you can rotate space and time axes in feynman diagram and its still a valid diagram but it means something different
sheit dog
S H E E E E E I T
electrons are irreducible representations of the poincare group
thats the most accurate answer i can give you
wordsoup
You lost me kang
yes it has to be wordsoup if you dont understand abstract algebra
think of it as a point of stability in a sea of chaos
I know groups.
what's a Poincaré group?
like when you put sand on a thing and it shakes
it winds up with stable areas right
thats not exactly right, but pretend it is
The poinecare group is the 10d group of symmetries of relativistic spacetime
1 time translation, 3 space translations, 3 space rotations, 3 boosts which are rotations through space & time.
electron fields in my eyes are just an area where electrons may be, and once again my classicl brain kicks in and i assume that if we could slow down time enough we could see a literal orbit. lol
its the symmetry groups of SO(1,3)
a rotation through space & time is basically boosting you from one velocity to another
as you can see these are all inertially stable states
