Is it true that quantum theory doesn't allow the existence of fields, and that gravity, magnetism etc are all "in reality" the exchange of force-carrying...

... One possible explanation for this is that, as a matter of logic (or physics), pattern generation is a harder task than pattern recognition. And therefore,...

... I suspect this muddle is mostly terminological and so a bit boring. At the end of FoR chapter 3, David defines a problem as: "A problem exists when it...

... Moving charges generate magnetic fields. But let's start with a static proton. This just sends out photons uniformly in all directions. The force on an...

Bob Schott you are very clear when you write down your ideas. I would like to comment your last question: ... I think the key word in this question is the...

What is field? It's just a different way of formulating the same reality. In quantum field theory, we formulate electrons, protons, photons, in term of field...
