Elementary Particles: What are they? Substances, elements and primary matter
arXiv:2103.05522 · doi:10.1007/s10699-021-09826-w
Abstract
The most successful "Standard Model" allows one to define the so-called "Elementary Particles". Now from another point of view, philosophical, how can we think of them? Which kind of a status can be attributed to Elementary Particles and their associated quantised fields? Beyond the unprecedented efficiency and reach of quantum field theories the current paper attempts at understanding the nature of what we talk about, the enigmatic reality of the quantum world.
