For example, pair production is: photon + photon = electron + (-)electron You can take that diagram, rotate it in spacetime, and you have the direct equivalent, which is electrons changing paths by exchanging a photon: electron + photon = electron - photon There are similar formulas for beta decay, which is: proton = neutron + electron + (-)neutrino You can also &quot;rotate&quot; this diagram, or any other Feyman diagram. This very, very strongly hints that the…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0803.0223/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>hep-th
