From vectors to spinors, and beyond

Posted on December 30, 2012 by Matej Pavšič

Spinors are usually considered as weird objects that cannot be easily understood in intuitive terms. But within the context of  Clifford algebra Cl(1,3) there exist a well-known procedure to construct spinors in terms of vectors, and their wedge products. In … Continue reading →
