Hi nightbat "FIELDS" That's the rub. Fields that give friction to inner
space(Planck space) Always liked Hawking's definition of
a field.It went like this. "Something that exists throughout space and
time,as opposed to a particle that exists only one point at a
time".(profound (yes) Funny thing nightbat I can't remember reading
how "string theory" uses fields??? Hmmm. Well I use Fields in a lot of
my thinking in Planck spacetime,and yet I leave out any field or wave
when thinking gravity. Go figure Bert


But particles such as electrons have electric fields that are part and
parcel of their existence. The attraction any electron has for a
proton or a positron diminishes as the inverse of the square of the
distance, but never completely extinguishes. So each electron must
extend over all of the universe!
