Ok guys, I have this strong curiosity of knowing how quantum field theory works.

I want to give it up, but its kind of hard.. every time the curiosity comes back again and I loose more minutes reading unintelligible explanations.

I've read feynman's QED, and I'm not satisfied with it.


Id like arguments to help me give up on this or at least some text richer than QED (with equations) but still intelligible.

QED by Feynman is not intended as learning material.

Check out the book by Srednetzki (free and legal prepublication draft)
http://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~mark/ms-qft-DRAFT.pdf

or buy Peskin & Schroeder's book on QFT.

Requirements: special relativity, electrodynamics and (relativistic) quantum mechanics. You don't need to be an expert on these, buy you want to know the fundamental details on undergrad level.

You are very obviously a brainlet and will never understand it no matter how hard you try.

It's wrong, don't waste your time.

A better question

Why you would learn quantum field theory? What thing explains/is useful for?
