I will soon start with the course introduction to QFT and are hence an amateur on the subject.
However I could not help but wonder,
If particles are describes by oschlliations in a field, how can a "bigger body" be made up of several such oscillation? (A bigger particle is made out of several smaller particles).
Imagine we have many particles (oscillations) which make up a bigger body, then the interference must be such that the "net-oscillation" is zero, hence no body (since it's as much constructive as amplifying interference over time).
The only case where the net-oscillation is not zero would be where the phase among all oschlliations is perfect and stationary.
- Which means that bodies is not an interference of oscillation fields, but an arrangemang of oscillating fields, which in turn raise a number of problems.
Any input on this thought-experiment?
(Thanks in advance for not just commenting something like "thats wrong"!)
