Understanding Quantum Fields

• Electromagnetic field is like water
• Photons are like waves
• Electrons are like molecules
• When we see water, we don't see the atoms, we also see what's not covered by atoms
• In fact, we only see what connects the atoms - the electromagnetic field
• When atoms move, the field moves, and what we see is the ripples
• And they will never remain still, but if they did, we wouldn't see them, and it would be dark everywhere
