Vanhees71, thank you for explaining such a difficult concept. Unfortunately I'd have to agree with Vanadium 50; you use a lot of terms that I'm not familiar with, and I don't even know where to start looking to learn the rest of quantum physics that I'm missing.

I'm still a bit confused. If an antiparticle isn't a particle moving backwards in time, then what is the fundamental difference between a particle and it's antiparticle? Is there an actual link between these particles, or are they just arbitrary values that happen to line up a certain way?

First I would like to say that I'm sorry if this question has been asked before- I'm new here. I was reading QED by Richard Feynman, and he mentioned that any given antiparticle is just it's regular particle counterpart moving backwards in time. How is this possible? I thought that it was only...

Hello! I'm a High School student in south-east Michigan. I'm interested in quantum theory, astrobiology and other areas of science, and I look forward to talking to everybody and learning more :smile:
