Quantum Fields - The Real Building Blocks of the Universe

Explore the fundamental building blocks of matter in this one-hour lecture by David Tong, a professor of theoretical physics at Cambridge University. Delve into the concept of 'quantum fields', continuous fluid-like substances that challenge our traditional understanding of particles. Learn how these fields fit into our current understanding of the Universe and shape our best theories of physics. Gain insights into the cutting-edge research in quantum field theory and its implications for our understanding of reality. After the main presentation, engage with additional content through a separate Q&A session for a deeper exploration of the topic.
