Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes how the Earth’s lithosphere, or outermost layer, is divided into a number of large plates that move and interact with one another. This theory has revolutionized our understanding of the Earth’s geology, and has helped to explain a wide range of natural phenomena, from earthquakes and volcanoes […]

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime

In theoretical physics, quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS) is an extension of quantum field theory from Minkowski spacetime to a general curved spacetime. This theory treats spacetime as a fixed, classical background, while giving a quantum-mechanical description of the matter and energy propagating through that spacetime. A general prediction of this theory is

Fermionic field

In quantum field theory, a fermionic field is a quantum field whose quanta are fermions; that is, they obey Fermi–Dirac statistics. Fermionic fields obey canonical anticommutation relations rather than the canonical commutation relations of bosonic fields. The most prominent example of a fermionic field is the Dirac field, which describes fermions with spin-1/2: electrons, protons,
