Episode 2.18: Of Fields and Particles

Exploring the development of quantum field theories such as quantum electrodynamics, quantum flavordynamics, and quantum chromodynamics. Highlighting the contributions of Enrico Fermi and Hideki Yukawa in the understanding of fundamental interactions between particles. Delving into the evolution of quantum mechanics, the quantization of electromagnetic field, and the emergence of new concepts like rest mass and intermediate vector bosons. Unveiling the paradigm shift from classical to quantum descriptions of energy states and the factors shaping the forces at a quantum level.
