I Your Favorite Feynman Diagram?

[Devin Powell]

Working on an art project using Feynman diagrams ... I'm curious if there are any that you consider to be particularly relevant to everyday human experience or particularly beautiful (according to any criteria you wish). Thanks!

Here's an example (and please feel free to point out if I've got this wrong).

When we step out into a beautiful sunny day, we can thank the weak interaction, which makes possible the fusion taking place in our star. A critical part of that process is electron capture, as laid out in this Feynman diagram:

Neat! I wonder how he picked which diagrams to use. Found this: "Of particular note is the diagram on the rear of the van ... this diagram shows two muon neutrinos exchanging a particle that Feynman could only conjecture at the time. Years later, such a particle was proven to exist and called a Z boson."
