Offered as an accessible visualization for people wanting to understand particles as excitations of fields.
ScienceClic gives a 15-minute animated introduction to quantum field theory, covering fields, spin, conserved quantities, the standard model and interactions.
“I mean there are ways to visualize these things” (HN, 2023)
toda particula es la expresion de un campo de fuerza, no tiene localidad en el sentido de que no existe en el espacio (es una propiedad del espacio) Si quieres saber mas mira este video: [this video]
Visual explanation of particles as expressions of fields
I mean there are ways to visualize these things [this video] this aligns with goal of the article "We build new mental images of the quantum world one step at a time, even under the risk of tripping up here and there."
Visualization of quantum concepts matching article's goal
Quantum Field Theory visualized [this video] Here's a more general idea. Our modern physics says that the whole universe is filled with fields and field is composed of numbers. What if we take that literally? When we say an electron is present here, we actually mean that there are more copies of particular number superposed at that place.
Related to idea that the universe is fields of numbers
