Jun 7, 2013 at 15:54 comment added Dmitry Brant There's not much that's "intuitive" about quantum field theory; that's why it took physicists so long to figure out. A better way to phrase it would be: fields are the fundamental building blocks of the universe (instead of particles). Particles, and the forces between them, are simply (quantum) excitations of those fields.
