中文导读
剑桥大学理论物理学家 David Tong 在英国皇家学会（Royal Institution）带来的通俗物理学讲座：他阐释了构成自然界的最底层基石其实并非“粒子”，而是弥漫于宇宙的“量子场”。讲座梳理了我们对这些场的认知及其如何融入标准模型（Standard Model）。
为什么 HN 推它
被众多读者奉为神作的物理科普，是解释“万物皆为场中波纹”以及展示前沿物理学至今未知领域最清晰透彻的讲座。
「绝对的大师级杰作，里面包含了许多耐人寻味的事实，尤其是关于当代人类依然一无所知的部分。」HN 网友原话：is a masterpiece. Some very interesting facts, mostly about what we don't know.
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
David Tong, a Cambridge theoretical physicist, explains at the Royal Institution that the fundamental building blocks of nature are quantum fields rather than particles. He covers what we know about these fields and how they fit into the Standard Model.
Called a favorite and a masterpiece by commenters as the clearest accessible explanation that there are only waves in fields, and what physics still doesn't know.
HN 上的提及
made by the Royal Institution (which I really enjoy watching), discussing the possibility of different fundamental building blocks of nature.
Tong clip hinting at holographic relationships in the universe.
If there are no individual things, as quantum field theory seems to suggest, what are numbers counting?
