  • Quantum fields are completely static most of the time, with the same field configurations.
  • The language of vibrations is often used to describe quantum corrections to classical behavior.
  • The wave function collapses and produces unpredictable answers when measurements are made.
  • Quantum fields can vibrate if they're not in a vacuum or static state.
  • Non-deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics can be compatible with the eternalist view of time.
