Important Note: In Quantum physics the word “particle” can be misleading if you think of it as something like a very small marble. Quantum Field Theory says that “particles” are a concentration of energy within a field. They are an “excitation” of the field. As such, fields are the primary components of reality, not “matter” as we experience with our senses. Matter, such as a marble, is a derivative of a field. The ancient mystics were correct, the world of matter is an illusion of our senses.
