The way from the path integral to Feynman diagrams is sketched. The emphasis is put on
the decrease of complexity in this process, from infinite-dimensional integrals down to the …

This paper pushes back against the Democritean-Newtonian tradition of assuming a strict
conceptual dichotomy between spacetime and matter. Our approach proceeds via the more …

Over the last 70 years, Feynman diagrams have played an essential role in the development
of many theoretical predictions derived from the standard model Lagrangian. In fact, today …

In this paper we aim to develop an indispensability argument in support of the existence of
virtual particles in scattering processes. In order to avoid the Paradox of Infinite Limits, which …

I will argue that the development of Feynman diagrams came from the physicist's capacity of
visualizing phenomena and that such visualization-skill contributed to the forming of a …

For some time, even after the Feynman diagrams and rules were publicly known, the
foundations of Feynman's quantum electrodynamics remained mostly private. Its stupendous …

The aim of the present paper is to analyze Feynman diagrams within the context of recent
historical and philosophical debates about models in science and against the backdrop of …

“Had we followed her lead, we might have thought of fission”(Wheeler 2000, p. 23). This is
none other than John Wheeler speaking in his autobiographical recollections about the work …
