Interaction at a distance? Rather, the propagation of a field
The messengers of the interactions: the 'quanta' of the field
Matter fields, of an uncommon self-avoiding kind
Whatever is happening makes an action
The vacuum: the stage of the fields' play
The symmetric shape of the action
Everything fluctuates
The vacuum is not empty
What else?
