So why, in a classical sense, do we need to come up with the idea that fields carry momentum?
I mean, charge 1 pushes charge 2 and charge 2 pushes back via Newtons third law.
Of course, we can say that charge 1 creates a field that carrys the momentum, which then affects charge 2 etc.
But doesn't this seem to go against ocams razor?
