I sought an explanation of the difference
between a force and a field. This is somewhat confusing... the books
containing Dr. Feynman's Lectures On Physics consistently refer to four
fundamental FORCES. Is this a matter of semantics or one of usage (i.e.,
are they are FIELDS with potential to act until they they do act and only
at that time do they manifest a FORCE) or is there a more fundamental
difference between a field and a force?
