Asking questions isn't always helpful, particularly if your background is so limited that you won't understand the answer. In that case, it can be a real waste of time unless you, the person asking, are willing to hear the answer "This is a highly simplified answer, to understand the detailed answer you'd have to do a lot more study." If a person with no background in physics asks a question about quantum fields, what do you tell them, and what sort of answer should they be satisfied with?
Plenty of books out there that successfully explain quantum fields to people with no real physics backgrounds in understandable terms...

Best.
