It turns out that this minimum excitation of a quantum field is actually what we perceive as particles. In this vision, each particle corresponds to the smallest energetic wave that can be carried by the associated quantum field (ie. smallest possible amplitude and frequency).
This was really fascinating to me, I have always imagined particles as incredibly small but still something ' solid' ( for want of a better word). Very well explained, as was said in some other comments this article has helped me get my head around a few key concepts
Great, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Stay tuned in for more about that subject in the coming days.
Cheers.
