What interactions in quantum field theory combine two particles of spin 1/2 and - 1/2, mediated by a virtual particle, so the products have 0 spin?

What interaction(s) in quantum field theory combines two particles of spin 1/2 and - 1/2, mediated by a virtual particle, so the products have no spin? Is the virtual intermediary known to carry...

Is the classical limit of the string version of gravity general relativity or Einstein-Cartan theory?

The classical limit of loop quantum gravity is Einstein-Cartan theory (EC), not general relativity (GR). I would like to know whether the other main approach to quantum gravity - string theory -...

Do you know of any case in which physicists accepted a basic theory based on a derivation from accepted theories, or its mathematical structure?

Kuhn says leading physicists accepted Newton's theory of gravitation before astronomical measurements were accurate enough to decide the issue ["Structure of Scientific Revolutions" 1962]. Other...
