Particles do not Exist
Abstract
The concept of a particle is purely an idealized model of some utility in flat space quantum field theory. Away from that limited context, however, the concept becomes much less useful and has been the source of much confusion. The study of DeWitt-style particle detectors has exposed the nebulousness of the particle concept and suggests that it should be abandoned completely.
