Action at a distance certainly is not the same as electromagnetic waves, which do not act instantaneously on a distance object as Newtonian gravity does.
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. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:22, 15 November 2009 (EST)

: Action at a distance certainly is not the same as electromagnetic waves, which do not act instantaneously on a distance object as Newtonian gravity does. Perhaps the meaning of "force field" is ambiguous (it's not defined in my dictionary).--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:24, 15 November 2009 (EST)
