Re: why can't fields be quantized too?

no bjoern YOU should learn what a field is!! and what a potential is,
and how the two are related by integration and how this leads to the
problems of renormalization. FEM and FDM my friend are what you need
to examine in detail before trying to teach your grandmother to suck
eggs!! a potential is a derived quantity and the field is the physical
entity. end of story.

you are typical of the nonsensical hand-wavers that pass for
mathematicians inside the ranks of those who profess some god-given
talent to 'understand' QFT; actually it's a rather simple maths, not at
all mystical, or deep, look at my explanation of the two-slit
experiment and if you like take up the challenge to prove me wrong!!
