Andy, I'm not going to undo something you've written, but a force field and action at a distance are the same thing. Action at a distance means precisely that - one object, affecting another, without touching it. A force field is precisely that - an object generates a field of force around it, which allows it to affect objects without touching them. JacobB 21:22, 15 November 2009 (EST)
