In quantum field theory, messenger fields mediate between visible and the invisible sectors. The visible sector consists of the particles we can “see” (not necessarily with our naked eyes but definitely in experiments), the invisible sector has particles we cannot “see”. On this blog I hope to communicate my excitement about physics to everyone that would like to read about it. Keep posted by liking the Quantum Messenger on Facebook or by following me on Twitter.
