Particle Physics: This field studies the nature of particles that constitute matter and radiation. In our Minecraft analogy, this would be studying each individual block type in detail.
Wave-Particle Duality: A concept in quantum mechanics stating that every particle has both wave-like and particle-like properties. Like how water can be both a liquid and a gas, particles can also have dual states.
Quantum Field Theory: This is the theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models of subatomic particles in particle physics. It's like creating the rulebook for how our Minecraft blocks should behave.
