Emperor Palpatine's darkest secret isn't the Sith—it's Feynman diagrams. "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Figure 1.2 The Forbidden Vertex?" He's not talking about Darth Plagueis but electron-photon interactions with conservation laws that would make any physicist scream. That diagram shows a single electron emitting a photon and... turning into a positron? Pure scientific heresy! Conservation of charge weeps silently in the background. No wonder it's forbidden—nature would collapse faster than a grad student's will to live during finals week.
