Chiara Marletto: Constructor Theory, Ghost Particles, and New Form of Science
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Ghost Photons and Gauge Theories in Quantum Field Theory
This chapter explores the interplay between quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, focusing on the modifications needed for compatibility with special relativity. It discusses ghost photons as crucial yet unobservable entities influencing physical interactions and examines the implications of gauge fixing on the quantization of electromagnetic fields. The conversation challenges traditional views on measurability in quantum phenomena, advocating for new experimental approaches to probe the quantum electromagnetic landscape.
