ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Force field (physics)

Force field is an invisible barrier around something that absorbs energy and prevents something else from getting through it. It is like an invisible wall that stops things from getting in or out. A good example is like a bubble around a person or a building. The bubble can't be seen but it is there, absorbing energy and preventing something from entering or leaving the bubble.
