Can someone ELI5 the relationship between electrons and photons? So far we have:
* Electrons emit photons when going from a high energy state to a low energy state (but remain electrons)
* Two photons colliding produce an electron-positron pair (always exactly one?)
- tsimionescu 5y agoThere's no ELI5 answer. You can look at some Standard Model charts. In principle, any particles in the SM can interact or decompose into any other particle, as long as mass-energy, spin, charge, color charge etc are conserved. The probability of many of these interactions may be minuscule.
