Post about a random fact you learned today.

[Becquerel]

i figured out what g means in this diagram and found out that it represents a gluon. and then i looked into what gluons are. and now im interested in particle physics.



brings back memories of half life 1. also anti-matter is more simple than i thought

Its called a Feynman diagram
In this diagram you posted, an electron (e-) and positron (e+) collide to produce a Photon (y) that is represented by the blue sine wave and then eventually turns into a quark (q) and antiquark (q with the bar above) and the antiquark radiates a gluon which is represented by g

A useful application of this diagram is to describe hawking radiation.

EDIT: This wasn't a fact I learned today, I just think particle physics are cool.

Together, we shall tell anti-matter particles WHOS BOSS. YEAH

I've been reading Feynman diagrams wrong this entire time. I'd always thought they were showing the paths and flavors of particles interacting via carrier particles.
