In classical field theory people couldn't decide whether fields were real separate things or just interactions between particles, now with quantum theory you have people arguing about many-worlds and you expect us to know whether virtual particles are real?

I've given up bothering to think about what physical abstractions are "real" and which aren't. It just seems more and more like a useless distinction the more I learn about physics.

This represents the true nature of reality, and what we intuitively understand the nature of reality to be is the fiction.
