I doubt it. Anyway, why do you keep insist on equating forces with
fields? Forces are clearly real. Nobody here has said they are not!
If you are "mechanical" you know they are real. So why then do you buy
into this spooky "field" thing? How can you show that the forces
involved all precisely follow mathematical field theory in ALL cases?
You KNOW that is an impossibility! You can't even explain how these
forces are formed at the fundamental levels let alone assert that the
thing doing so is the mathematics of field theory!

I'll tell you Fred. my mother always used to put me in my place when
I'd be expounding one of my rather strange ideas by saying, "Oh, I
suppose that you are right and everyone else in the whole world is
wrong!" When I was young that used to put me in my place. But one
day I suddenly realized that yes, it certainly IS POSSIBLE for me to
be right and the whole world to be "wrong"! And from that day forward
my life changed forever!
As for your celebration of the Nobel Prize as somehow being the
"ultimate" proof of being "right", I respond with just one word:
Algore!
