    Feynmann diagrams interpretation and diagramm symmetry order

    I'm trying to understand Feynman diagrams interpretation in terms of virtual particles. What I still can't understand is how this interpretation is compatible with the fact that one should divide each diagram by its symmetry order. As far as I understand, diagram symmetry order means how many...

    Educational value of spacetime diagrams

    I was thinking about how one would teach special relativity using a spacetime-geometric approach. I think you would first show spacetime diagrams in a single frame and describe velocity as the slope of the worldline. Then when you moved onto other frames it would be natural to leave the slope...
