The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.
This is the Q&A video associated with Idea #9, "Fields." I go once more through why the simple harmonic oscillator has quantized energy levels, explain how the Dirac equation and Klein-Gordon equations are *not* relativistic versions of the Schrödinger equation, and mention entanglement and the Reeh-Schlieder Theorem.
