Are Anti-Particles Just Particles Traveling Back In Time?
Frank Arntzenius, Rutgers University
12:05 pm, 817R Cathedral of Learning

Abstract: Richard Feynman has claimed that anti-particles are just particles traveling back in time. According to standard textbooks this is not so. I will discuss who is right. I argue that Feynman's view is plausible in classical physics but that matters are not so clear in quantum field theory.
