Fascinating. I wish my physics courses had focused more on waves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustics

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

    All of it is also particles! (Mostly)

      Isn’t it not all fields? (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
