An existence that mistakenly took fundamental reality to consist of point particles instead of fields. But we still found out about fields and quantum mechanics

An existence that mistakenly took fundamental reality to consist of point particles instead of fields. But we still found out about fields and quantum mechanics.
- dist-epoch 2y agoWe don't know that fields are real. We just know that the mathematical language of fields is the most convenient and concise to describe the experimental results we see.
