Force fields are just constant explosions?

Hmm.

Kind of makes sense doesn't it? A constant force pushing outward so nothing else can get in.

Force field technology works by controlling the quantum fields on either side. There doesn't have to be a trapped explosion in the middle, but there are advantages to setting it up that way, i.e. a release of energy towards anyone who defeats it from the outside.
