Fascinating. I wish my physics courses had focused more on waves.

When you get past freshman physics it is all waves! (Mostly)


All of it is also particles! (Mostly)


Wait, serious question, is a wave in water or on a string in some way also understood as a particle?

And, even from the perspective of field theory, aren't fields defined by the type of waves moving through them?



No, they're talking about things such as photons and electrons

I don't think the fields are defined by their waves, but specific fields have specific wave patterns/types


Isn’t it not all fields? (Mostly?)
