There's no such thing as a force field , it's just a name we use to make the concept intuitive.

All we know is that when two objects are placed near each other, they start moving toward each other. The rest is still a mystery I believe, but I've been out of the loop a long time.

And how exactly have we come beyond this point? Unless something has changed in the 8 or so years, I never saw any insight into the nature of the fundamental forces, merely mathematical descriptions of their effects
