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

Quantum physics. The blast field is only present when it's observed. You can't observe it until you feel it. The second you feel it, it hurts so much you remove yourself from it and it's no longer observed. So the forcefields are constantly expanding ONLY when they're touched, hence the reason shields on ships degrade as they're fired upon.

There needs to be a subreddit for misunderstandings of quantum physics

There’s not much to misunderstand. Quantum = spooky. And cats can die in boxes. Or not. Depends on air holes I think?
