I don’t believe in charge or fields.
When you start physics, Newton’s action at a distance sounds profoundly uncomfortable. But after five or so years of it, you just get used to it and stop complaining. By the time you’re doing QM in any seriousness, it’s just a thing you do.
It’s garbage. That sounds like lies we’re being aclimated to. Fields don’t exist outside of background geometry.
I have no idea what causes the behavoirs ascribed to charge.
