F6FLT It's problematic in my opinion because the Primary Fields (Electric, Magnetic, gravic) are considered immaterial. ...
It is only your "opinion" that is problematic, because it is an opinion, not knowledge. If you are co-moving with a charge, you do not see a magnetic field. If you move relative to a charge at rest, you see a magnetic field. One observer may see a magnetic field where another observer sees nothing, or each may see different intensities and directions of the field. Science defines an electric field as a property of space where a force F=q.E is exerted on the charge. This is its definition. Only the force is seen by all observers, not the field, which can be seen as electric or magnetic. This definition makes no assumption that the field is "immaterial" but it does make the assumption that space is modified by the field. If you do not conceive the electric field as defined here, it is no longer an electric field, call it something else, define it, and since you speak of "immateriality", also give an operational definition of this term, otherwise it will never be anything but pseudo-scientific gibberish. The idea of an absolute reality that would be the magnetic or electric fields, of an absolute time, and of an undefined "materiality", is childish and completely outdated since more than a century. I don't understand that we are still at this level today, except if we want to go back to the middle-age superstitions.
