The extremely successful Standard Model of Particle Physics allows one to define the so-called Elementary Particles. From another point of view, how can we think of them? What kind of a status can be attributed to Elementary Particles and their associated quantised fields? Beyond the unprecedented efficiency and reach of quantum field theories, the current paper attempts at understanding the nature of what these theories describe, the enigmatic reality of the quantum world.

Foundations of Science

科学基础侧重于与科学结构和发展有关的具有基础意义的方法论和哲学主题。它是在职科学家和科学理论家之间交流观点和思想的论坛，并寻求促进跨学科合作。由于各种科学学科变得如此专业化，不同科学领域的工作者无法接触到，因此其目标之一是该杂志将以一种没有不必要的技术性但忠实于科学内容的方式介绍科学的基础问题。该杂志的目的不仅仅是识别和突出基本问题和问题，而是为这些问题提出建设性的解决方案。该杂志的编辑承认，各种科学都有各自特有的方法和方法。然而，他们认为，重要的真理可以通过科学发现，而且真理超越了文化和政治背景。尽管正确进行的历史和社会学调查可以解释科学事业的某些方面，但编辑们认为，当代科学的核心基础问题可以在不求助于社会学或历史方法的情况下提出和回答。

The journal "Foundations of Science" focuses on foundational methodological and philosophical themes related to the structure and development of science. It serves as a forum for active scientists and scientific theorists to exchange views and ideas, aiming to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. As various scientific disciplines become highly specialized, it often becomes challenging for workers in different fields to access each other's work. Therefore, one of the journal's goals is to present foundational scientific issues in a manner that is free from unnecessary technicality while remaining faithful to the scientific content. The journal not only identifies and highlights fundamental questions but also seeks to provide constructive solutions to these issues. The editors acknowledge that different sciences have their unique methods and approaches; however, they believe that significant truths can be discovered through science, transcending cultural and political contexts. While properly conducted historical and sociological investigations can elucidate certain aspects of the scientific enterprise, the editors contend that the core foundational questions of contemporary science can be posed and answered without resorting to sociological or historical methods.
