Description
In a talk at Georgetown University, Dr. Rodney Brooks, author of "Fields of Color: The theory that escaped Einstein", shows why the answer is quantum field theory. He shows how quantum field theory, so often overlooked or misunderstood, resolves the weirdness of quantum mechanics and the paradoxes of relativity . Once the concepts of quantum field theory are grasped, understanding physics is within anyone's grasp. See http://www.quantum-field-theory.net
Almost a hundred years ago a physics theory emerged known as quantum mechanics. From the beginning, quantum mechanics, a theory based on particles, was plagued with weirdness and mystery. A bit later quantum field theory was developed, describing a world made of fields, not particles. After a...

Physicists Edward Finn and Rodney Brooks take on the task of describing quantum field theory to laypersons without using any math. They describe the six basic quantum fields, and show how the field picture, and only the field picture, enables a true understanding of physics. Read more at...
