Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

   is the classical configuration space of free particle which has finite degrees of freedom, and

In classical field theory, the configuration space of the field is an infinite-dimensional space. The single point denoted 
  
    
      
        A
      
    
    {\displaystyle A}
   in this space is represented by the set of functions 
  
    
      
        
          A
          
            I
          
        
        (
        
          
            
              x
              →
            
          
        
        )
        ∈
        
          
            R
          
          
            3
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle A_{I}({\vec {x}})\in \mathbb {R} ^{3}}
   where 
  
    
      
        
          
            
              x
              →
            
          
        
        ∈
        
          
            R
          
          
            3
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle {\vec {x}}\in \mathbb {R} ^{3}}
   and 
  
    
      
        I
      
    
    {\displaystyle I}
   represents an index set.
In quantum field theory, it is expected that the Hilbert space is also the

  
    
      
        
          L
          
            2
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle L^{2}}
   space on the configuration space of the field, which is infinite dimensional, with respect to some Borel measure naturally defined. However, it is often hard to define a concrete Borel measure on the classical configuration space, since the integral theory on infinite dimensional space is involved.Thus the intuitive expectation should be modified, and the concept of quantum configuration 
space should be introduced as a suitable enlargement of the classical configuration space so 
that an infinite dimensional measure, often a cylindrical measure, can be well defined on it.
In quantum field theory, the quantum configuration space, the domain of the wave functions 
  
    
      
        Ψ
      
    
    {\displaystyle \Psi }
  , is larger than the classical configuration space. While in the classical theory we can restrict ourselves to suitably smooth fields, in quantum field theory we are forced to allow distributional field configurations. In fact, in quantum field theory physically interesting measures are concentrated on distributional configurations.
That physically interesting measures are concentrated on distributional fields is the reason why in qu ...
