and My question returned to you is Why? It is not enough that you say there is not without proof that it does not exist. Absence of data does not mean abscence of being no more does Existence of data necessarily mean that the data and the theory agree. probably ignorance on my part...

ZapperZ: I can only give the examples I am currently struggling to understand and those come from Feynman and are dealt with on a laymans terms (as I am yet a layman and not a student nor a graduate yet) using his diagrams for electrons and photons (and protons neutrons muons etc) The...

Just looked back at page 98 again: "This phenomenon is general. Every particle in nature has an ampitude to move backwards in time, and therefore has an anti-particle...Photons look exactly the same in all respects when they travel backwards in time-as we saw earlier-so they are their own...

jtbell: m=mass As far as I know the mass in Mev of a particle is a number that is in the equations but that doesn't sit well at all because for whichever particle you are describing the theory and the experimental values never quite match up or they do match up but in matching they change j in...

Not in Feynmans work. There may be such a treatment in others but the photon (and electron) as treated in Feynmans work is a "spin 0" particle. It is and Ideal particle and not a "real" particle. For his treatment of a "real" electron/photon he terms the particle electron as a spin 1/2 with a...

I hope for Maxwells sake, and my sanity, that this is NOT the case. But if it were to be the case, does that mean that the underlying assumptions of SR are also not treated properly? that in fact Maxwells Demon must exist in some form?

According to R.P. Feynman Photons have a probability amplitude to move from a source to a detector. It appears to move in a straight line only because that is where the Highest Area of probability for the amplitude of an event is. Interestingly enough for any given photon moving between Source...

Gravity as defined as an external force that acts on all bodies generally is due as far as I understand it to the "fabric of space-time" GR tells us this and agrees with repeated experiments so far. (interesting to see what Gravity probe B results will be in April of this year by the way)...

Ok First off I am a complete duffer to most of physics and the math necessary to describe the physics is beyond me right now (but I am still learning!) I have done a search on what I thought were relevant terms and found many articles on different aspects but none that quite answer this...
