This article describes one in a long, long series of experiments demonstrating that particles don’t exist and our intuition is simply wrong.

Imagine a gigantic, epic mountain of evidence tall enough to crush the resistance of even the most recalcitrant physicists. Particles are not real. Quantum fields are, which contain excitations, which because of conservation laws cannot simply disappear on their own and therefore in many common circumstances appear to persist and maintain an identity.

There’s our “particles”. But it isn’t hard at all to devise an experiment that breaks our intuition like a dried up stick.

I'm not in QM but electronics, still I accept QFT on evidence. Had to give up intuition/bad training when coming to grips with Aharonov–Bohm and related. Still, on bad days when (4kRTΔf)^0.5 or such gets in my way, I default and accuse my noisy little 'charges' of being too big and that they rattle around like large ball-bearings in an empty oil drum.
