    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(technology)

    Energy shield from the game Second Life. In speculative fiction, a force field, sometimes known as an energy shield, force shield, energy bubble, or deflector shield, is a barrier produced by something like energy, negative energy, dark energy, electromagnetic fields, gravitational fields, electric fields, quantum fields, telekinetic fields, plasma, particles, radiation, solid light, magic, or ...

  3. Force field (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(physics)

    In physics, a force field is a vector field corresponding with a non-contact force acting on a particle at various positions in space. Specifically, a force field is a vector field F {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} } , where F ( r ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} (\mathbf {r} )} is the force that a particle would feel if it were at the position r ...

    Force field (chemistry), a set of parameter and equations for use in molecular mechanics simulations Force field (physics) , a vector field indicating the forces exerted by one object on another Force field (technology) , a barrier made up of energy, plasma or particles to protect a person, area or object from attacks or intrusions or as a ...

  5. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    According to QFT the universe is made up of matter fields whose quanta are fermions (e.g. electrons and quarks), force fields whose quanta are bosons (i.e. photons and gluons) and a Higgs field whose quantum is the Higgs boson. The matter and force fields have zero-point energy. [2]

  6. Static forces and virtual-particle exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_forces_and_virtual...

    Static force fields are fields, such as a simple electric, magnetic or gravitational fields, that exist without excitations.The most common approximation method that physicists use for scattering calculations can be interpreted as static forces arising from the interactions between two bodies mediated by virtual particles, particles that exist for only a short time determined by the ...

    However, these half-human creatures are not real as “no evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found,” the post continues. “Mermaids are fictional, of course,” echoes Dr. Compora.

  9. Field (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(physics)

    A field can be classified as a scalar field, a vector field, a spinor field or a tensor field according to whether the represented physical quantity is a scalar, a vector, a spinor, or a tensor, respectively. A field has a consistent tensorial character wherever it is defined: i.e. a field cannot be a scalar field somewhere and a vector field ...
