There are no particles, there are only fields (2012)

This opinion piece argues that fields are merely probability distributions, strongly implying that particles are, actually, particles: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chemistryworld.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;a-common-misunderstanding-about-wave-particle-duality&#x2F;4019585.article" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.chemistryworld.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;a-common-misunderstan...</a><p>There&#x27;s certainly plenty of common misunderstanding in this, uh, field!

From the paper: &quot;Phenomena such as &#x27;particle&#x27; tracks in bubble chambers, and the small spot appearing on a viewing screen when a single quantum interacts with the screen, are often cited as evidence that quanta are particles, but these are insufficient evidence of particles.&quot;<p>Really? Wave packets that are indivisible energy blobs, and that make individual &quot;clicks&quot; on my detector sure seem to act like particles to me.<p>I get that the math implies these bundles are waves - that&#x27;s the duality part. I don&#x27;t think any physicist thinks that there is a &quot;particle&quot; embedded in the wave packet, though, like this guy is arguing - the quantized wave packet is the particle!

Are fields real though? If so, they point to a mathematical reality that is non physical.

Are there fields plural or is there one field singular?<p>My latest check of QFT is that there are 37 fields.<p>This leads me to believe:<p>- There is only 1 undiscovered fundamental field<p>- There are multiple gods and each complains about there being too many fields and how much simpler universe management would be if there was just 1 field and then <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;927" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;927</a>

&gt; It&#x27;s important to clarify this issue because textbooks still teach a particles- and measurement-oriented interpretation that contributes to bewilderment among students and pseudoscience among the public<p>Is this mostly settled then? And if so why do we continue to teach a bewildering model?
