Are all fields in the universe we know of quantum fields?
Are all fields in the universe we know of quantum fields? Are all fields in the universe we know of quantum fields? Do all fields that exist must be inherently quantum in nature? How about fields that are yet to be discovered (ie. a new field like Higgs field) , do they all have to be quantum fields? We're still trying to make sense of how gravitational fields make sense in quantum terms, but there are good theoretical reasons to think gravity should be just as quantum as any other field. – J.G.

There are good theoretical reasons to believe that gravity should be quantized in some way, but it is certain that quantum field theory is not the way to go. – Prahar Aug 19 at 18:00 @Prahar In its present form, yes; but once we have a more mature understanding of the topic, gravity will be "a quantum field" in some sense, just not the "has a C
