Lest we not forget ... A field was never a physical "thing". "Fields" have always been a mathematical artifice used to describe/visualize the action at a distance supplied by charges - stationary and in motion.
According to Hotson, these actions at a distance are all transmitted by the essentially mass-less epo sea - epos being polarizable. Physics is applying mathematical models to the observed behaviors of the real world around us. Physics is not reality. These physical models are NEVER correct, but the best models reproduce a great deal of actual behavior (but NEVER all behavior). Physics LAWS are just rules of thumb that have proved to be valid most of the time (perhaps all of the time in our historical experience, but that does not make them inviolable).
