How Do Particles Mediate forces (Strong Nuclear, Weak Nuclear). Like, what actually goes on to mediate such interactions?

Translation: "Please write down all of particle physics".

Sorry, but this is a big order. I understand your wanting to know, but as they say "it's beyond the scope of this course, the next one, and the one after that". It's not possible to condense several years of school into a few words on a computer screen."
 
Well no. I understand most of particle physics, buty question is what role does the particle play? Does it create the field of the force?
 
Son, you're still in high school. You don't understand "most of particle physics". I've been working in this field for two decades, and even I don't understand "most of particle physics". It's a big topic. Furthermore, if you understood "most of particle physics", you would have the answer to your question.

This thread cannot go anywhere good.
 

Thread 'Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness'

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

Thread 'Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?'

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
