Printed a new edition of my ‘Feynman Diagram Bauhaus’ print!

It’s was inspired by the way the exuberant lines and shapes of Bauhaus paintings, like those of Wassily Kandinsky, reminded me Feynman diagrams showing particle reactions on the quantum scale, virtual particles and anti-particles popping out of the vacuum on borrowed mass-energy and of quantum foam.

There's a lot of information hidden in these whimsical little diagrams telling the story not only of possible subatomic reactions but, for those who know how to use them, they allow easy calculations of probability and physical quantities.

I love these! I published a research paper a decade ago about the ways Feynman diagrams as a teaching tool can give us insight into science education more broadly, and I also love Kandinsky--so I appreciate these lovely little works on both counts.

@PragmatistProf thank you!

Interesting! That sounds like a fascinating tool for exploring teaching and learning.
