I mean there are ways to visualize these things ▶ this video this aligns with goal of the article "We build new mental images of the quantum world one step at a time, even under the risk of tripping up here and there."

toda particula es la expresion de un campo de fuerza, no tiene localidad en el sentido de que no existe en el espacio (es una propiedad del espacio) Si quieres saber mas mira este video: ▶ this video

Quantum Field Theory visualized ▶ this video Here's a more general idea. Our modern physics says that the whole universe is filled with fields and field is composed of numbers. What if we take that literally? When we say an electron is present here, we actually mean that there are more copies of particular number superposed at that place.
