Excerpt from the Book
What is Quantum Field Theory
Quantum Field Theory is the framework of all Quantum models in Quantum Physics and Theoretical Physics. It goes on the bases of having many bodies in the form of condensed matter. This helps us realize what we are made of, how the universe works, and what builds us up. These fundamentals are important in understanding the world around us, which is what science is meant to do. Particle Physics itself is revised by theories in Quantum Field Theory. This also sheds light on the area of both Quantum Mechanics and Elementary Physics. In the field Quanta there are ripples of matter and specs of atoms that make up this universe.
These theories have been proved many times in history on the basis of Socrates Atomism Theory, Feynman’s Diagram of Quantum Structures, Maxwell’s Equation, The Multiverse Theory, General Relativity, and Alfred Morgan’s Theory of Continuations in Fluid Mechanics. This belief in Quantum Field Theory also brings the belief on Gluons which are particles that exchange forces between Quarks in the Quantum model. Quarks are the constituents of matter that form hadrons when interacted between the forces of Gluons.
