What the hell was Einstein talking about here? Is the field the

spacetime
rather than express gravity as a definition for matter, einstien preferred gravity to be an inherent property of the field of spacetime. by doing so, the definition of matter crumbles and all that's left is "the field" of spacetime

>>8511565
Why is that? How can I conclude that matter is made up of fields by saying gravity is s property of space-time?

Also, I have another question, I heard somewhere that the wave function is a field, hence matter is a field, is this true? Thanks in advance

I am assuming that you are an engineer.

Math is the language that physics is spoken in. The more math that you understand, the more physics will make sense to you. "Field" has an entirely different meaning in this context. And your question about matter illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of both.

What I'm getting at is I'm not equipped to answer your question until you know more math.

Sorry for the name engineer I put it to make fun of someone back in the days and it stocked. I'm actually last year physics undergrad, what kind of math is required to have a proper answer?

>>8511736
that's a bullshit cop out. you just can't answer the question

I also can't explain quantum mechanics to someone who doesn't know differential equations. My inability to answer the question in general does not effect whether or not I can explain it to you.

Why do you think prerequisite classes exist? Hint: it's not so the university can squeeze more money out of you by making you stay longer.

A casual google search demonstrates this is false attribution. Never mind that it is a bullshit vacuous sentiment. You try explaining QFT to your grandmother.
