:::"Field theory" used to mean what you say, but I think today it connotes a "field" that takes time to travel ... as in "quantum field theory." I don't think a distinction is made between particles or waves; the key distinction is between instantaneous action versus action at the speed of light.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:43, 15 November 2009 (EST) | :::"Field theory" used to mean what you say, but I think today it connotes a "field" that takes time to travel ... as in "quantum field theory."
