It's turtles all the way down. -

You seem to think that being a "fundamental particle" is somehow different from being a quantum field. It isn't. The only theoretical...

None. The electron is a fundamental particle in our best current theoretical models. (But "particle" is just shorthand for "quantum...

bob012345 replied to the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics.To me the issue is not if there is physical reality underneath what are now labeled quantum fields. It is can quantum fields be measured...

Two points of view are: Quantum Fields are reality; and, reality can only be described mathematically - fundamentally through quantum...

They're what our best current theory of the fundamental physics of matter says everything is made of. If that makes them "physical...

bob012345 replied to the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics.Thanks. But are they physical entities?
-
bob012345 replied to the thread B Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics.If electrons are quantum fields, then what, physically, are quantum fields?

According to our best current theoretical models, they're quantum fields. Yes. This is much too vague. We can't give you a course in...

Unfortunately, Einstein unified field theory did not pay either. Same with Heisenberg, Dirac and others. Yeah, at least 't Hooft did...

In mm/dd/yy format, 9/16/25 is 32/42/52. In dd/mm/yy, it's 42/32/52, still Pythagorean, but not monotonically sequential.

Well, I'll be squared!
