Field Viewer

A browser sketch of electron and photon fields. Drop packets, watch them move, and check the conservation math when an electron and positron collide.

What it does

  • Particles are wave packets on fields, not little balls.
  • Every electron is the same field excitation; only position and momentum differ.
  • Positrons are the same field with opposite charge.
  • When an electron and positron meet, they turn into two photons.
