1123581321 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hi. I was wondering if quantum field theory (for forces) is based on or at least around the quantized particles for the forces... i.e - graviton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well, in QFT you have a fields that mediate forces. Then you quantize the fields, giving rise to elementary excitations of the fields, which you call particles. I'm not sure if that's a "yes" or a "no" to your question, though. I tend to "no", since QFT is not based on particles, but particles are a result of the QFT approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
