Can someone explain this picture to me?

In summary, the conversation discusses a quantum equations picture with circles and a Feynman diagram. The diagram represents the decay of a neutron into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino. The equations mentioned are the Schrodinger equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The photograph shown is most likely a bubble chamber photograph, not a cloud chamber, depicting the process of p -> K+ Lambda. This is unrelated to the Feynman diagram.

The Feynman diagram describes a neutron emitting an electron and a neutrino as it decays to a proton.
The two equations are the Schrodinger equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
The black-and-white photograph is a cloud chamber photograph showing the tracks of particles through the chamber; charged particles move in circles because there's a magnetic field vertical to the plane of the photo.

The cloud chamber photograph is almost certainly a bubble chamber, and it looks like it might be the process p -> K+ Lambda.

Yeah, I was about to ask what that was. It's unrelated to the Feynman diagram.
 

FAQ: Can someone explain this picture to me?

What is the purpose of this picture?
