Fields are non-material regions of influence.
The Earth's gravitational field, for example, is all around us.We cannot see it - it is mot a material object - but is nevertheless real. According to Einstein, it is not in space and time: it is space-time.
Electromagnetic fields integrate all material systems, from atoms to galexies. We can see things around us, because we are connected to them through the electromagnetic field, in which the vibratory energy of light is travelling. Vibrating electromagnetic fields underlie the functioning of our brains and bodies, our cells and ourolecules.
All around us are countless vibratory patterns of activity within the electromagnetic field we cannot detect with our senses. We can tune into some of them through radio and TV receivers and mobile phones.
Objects affect each other through fields even when they are not in material contact. These fields exist, even if we cannot detect them with our senses.
It is therefore clearly possible that there are many more fields than those currently recognized by physics.
