ScienceClic gives a 15-minute animated introduction to quantum field theory, covering fields, spin, conserved quantities, the standard model and interactions.
Why Hacker News points people here: Offered as an accessible visualization for people wanting to understand particles as excitations of fields.

“Si quieres saber mas mira este video”
Visual explanation of particles as expressions of fields
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
“I mean there are ways to visualize these things”
Visualization of quantum concepts matching article's goal
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."
“Quantum Field Theory visualized”
Related to idea that the universe is fields of numbers
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.
