what is missing here: field properties, e.g: homogeneous vs. nonhomogeneous, conservative vs. dissipative, central field, curl-field...

Don't we want all sorts of things in here, such as 4-Lagrangians, Lorentz covariance, tensor notation, Euler-Lagrange equations for a field, examples of Classical Electrodynamics, the metric as a potentials for gravitation etc? -Masud 17:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Heavily re-organised the page, and linked to classical field theory. -Masud 03:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Added continuous random fields, because the relationship between quantum fields and continuous random fields is my research interest. It's possible to formulate quantum fluctuations in a continuous random field formalism, as well as and distinct from thermal fluctuations. The significance of such is TBD. What I've added to the Field (physics) page is probably not contentious, whereas my research is. Linking to details in other pages seems appropriate for a Field (physics) page, rather than the details of 4-Lagrangians etc. being here -PeterQ 14:44, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
