1) The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 10 - Interactions"
recorded 29 May 2020
Sean Carroll is Professor of Theoretical Physicist at the California Institute of Technology, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is the host of the weekly Mindscape podcast. He is the author of several books, most recently Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime.
[The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is the Q&A video for Idea #10, "Interactions." I talk about the circumstances under which it's okay to use Feynman diagrams and think of fields as being particle-like vs. wave-like, and am a bit more precise about locality and the infinite number of degrees of freedom in a field theory.
