Chiara Marletto: Constructor Theory, Ghost Particles, and New Form of Science
Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal
Quantum Field Theory, Ghost Photons, and Indirect Measurement
This chapter explores the foundations of quantum theory and quantum mechanics, focusing on quantum field theory and special relativity. It discusses the challenges in constructing a quantum field theory for the electromagnetic field and the different ways of quantizing the field that lead to the existence of 'ghost' photons. The chapter also explores the concept of gauge fixing and the implications of measuring charges in quantum electrodynamics, suggesting a need to revisit what is considered measurable.
