The pile of sandwiches can be described in terms of how the consistency of the pile changes as you zoom in or out looking at it.This method is applied to particle physics through the concept of lattice gauge theory. According to Peskin, the basic idea of lattice gauge theory is that the infinities that appeared to be flaws in quantum field theory are actually the data you need to move from one scale to another.This development allowed...
