Field theory is a framework that describes physical systems in terms of continuous fields distributed over space and time.

Field theory models interactions using fields defined over space and time.

Description

Field theory replaces particle-based descriptions with fields that can vary continuously. It provides a unified way to describe interactions and collective behavior.

Properties

  • uses continuous fields
  • describes interactions
  • basis for advanced quantum theory
