What are Elementary Particles? From Dark Energy to Quantum Field Excitations

Popular Physics 2021-01-27 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We describe the very nature of the elementary particles, which our (visible) Universe consists of. We point out that they are not point-like, and we depict their ways of interacting. We also address puzzles that occur even in the absence of particles, in the vacuum.
