How Quantum Fields Built Reality _ The Sleepy Scientist
"Beneath the solidity of matter lies a world of invisible fields. Particles are not the fundamental building blocks of reality—fields are."Quantum field theory describes particles as disturbances or "ripples" in underlying fields that permeate the universe. The electron is a vibration in the electron field; the photon is a ripple in the electromagnetic field. These fields interact, giving rise to the particles and forces that built everything we see. The Higgs field gives particles mass. The universe may not be made of particles—it may be a symphony of fields.
