SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. What is exactly the justification of the assumption that elementary particles be point-like in QFT? Indeed, searches for fundamental concepts that get to the bottom of things, as in elementary particle physics, are guided by the notion that nature's fundamental structures and interactions are determined by symmetries. So what does it mean for They obey what are called Fermi-Dirac statistics: they can't occupy all the same quantum states--they have to differ from one another on at least something, often the spin; they are governed by Pauli's exclusion principle. Motivations for studying quantum mechanics - Basic principles of quantum mechanics,Probabilities and probability amplitudes - Linear vector spaces , bra and ket vectors - Completeness, orthonormality, basis vectors - Orthogonal, Hermitian and Estimation of the size of the deuteron - The isotropic oscillator, energy degeneracy - Invariance principles and conservation laws - Spin and the Pauli matrices - Addition of angular momentum - The spin-orbit coupling and its consequences. The coupling to the Higgs field is constant. It ignores measurement invariance under different frames, for one thing. Harmonic oscillator, superposition, wave-particle duality etc). A second hypothesis is that the gravitational field is a statistical concept like entropy or temperature, only defined for gravitational effects of matter in bulk and not for effects of individual elementary particles… If a graviton E.g.: quantum theories give up any notion of "rest" (since due to the Heisenberg principle, absolute rest is meaningless) while "relative" rest is possible in Special Relativity. A concrete example is the recent firm claim of the discovery of the Higgs particle, a crucial, and until recently missing, part of the standard model of elementary particles. All the current theories, as Quantum Field Theory, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Standard Model, etc., all they keep the fundamental principles of Quantum Mechanics. But elementary particles such as the electron are called Dirac point particles: they are like a point in the sense of Greek geometry--they have no interior, i.e., no width, no breadth, no length, no insides. And when talking about the mass of a fundamental particle, usually it's the invariant mass measured from the particle's frame that we're talking about. To grasp the importance of such an achievement it is useful to go over a bit of history and Therefore, a general principle of invariance allows us to derive electrodynamics and have an almost geometrical understanding of it. The spirit of Emmy Noether—unsung but For example, if you rotate a wine glass about its stem axis, I cannot tell that the glass has been rotated; the appearance of the glass is “invariant” under the rotation. As for GR, according to the Principle of Equivalence, you can always choose a system of coordinates that is like an inertial reference frame at a particular space-time point. I want some fundamental principle from which we can derive all the parameters, not an entire alphabet of independent parameters as if pulled randomly from a bag of scrabble tiles. Point-like particles, Lorentz invariance and QM/QFT in Quantum Physics is being discussed at Physics Forums.
