Particles as shown in most introductory particle physics courses. Because of particle/wave (alternatively particle/field) duality the question of whether particles or fields are the fundamental constituents remains open but the current consensus is the later (fields).
- criddell 6y agoDescribing a field in terms of particles seems circular if particles are excitations of a quantum field.
