What actually makes a magnetic field?

[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 6005602, member: 510075"] The magnetic (or more accurately, the electromagnetic) field is not ”made” of anything. It is a quantum gauge field and that is about as far as physics goes. It is not the aim to ascribe it to some substance or building blocks. Particles (photons in the case of the EM field) and classical fields are described by different states of the quantum field. What do you mean by ”physical”? In most senses that word is used in physics, the EM field itself is physical. [/QUOTE]
