Feynman's Diagram are just abstraction that manages to abstract away some elements of nature into a simplified version.
Fetishizing them is like fetishizing the way Ancient Egyptians wrote their fractional numbers.
- coldtea 10y agoThat doesn't say much though. Something that is "just abstraction" can still be world-changing... In fact those are the most world-changing things (abstractions), the concrete stuff mostly derives from there...
- Ygg2 10y agoIf you focus too much much on current abstraction, you lose sight of better ones - that was the point of my previous post. I also don't agree concrete stuff derives from abstractions. You can make concrete stuff, using certain models/abstractions, but their behavior will always differ from the model. Because model aren't reality.
