Inside the Proton
My main takeaway from Quantum Field theory in grad school was that the proton (and electron, etc really all subatomic particles) is just a useful fiction; much like a spherical, frictionless cow.  It's just that in particle accelerators where it breaks down so it's a quite useful fiction.  Renormalization[1] in field theory is really trippy...<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization</a>
