In other words, all you have is hand waving and babbling nonsense. Have 
you ever heard of phlogiston? Is it not "particles"? What are "quantum 
fields" exactly? It's just so much fantasy and jargon.

I just did above. Didn't you catch it?

Especially when your idea of something NOT vague musings are "quantum 
fields" that get "excited" and in the "right conditions" act like 
particles and when they don't feel like it they don't. Right. Very exact 
and experimental...NOT.
