The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | 9. Fields

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.

This is Idea #9, "Fields." A little bit about classical fields, but mostly concentrating on quantum field theory, and in particular on why a quantized field ends up looking like particles. This one is a bit challenging!
