Talk:Bosonic field

What is this entry about?
This article doesn't really explain what a Bosonic field is. What is the physical reality of this field? It isn't the same as the supposed luminiferous ether (the classicaly imagined medium that light waves were once imagined to propagate through) yet the bosonic field seems to have an analogous role. Could someone flesh this out, without going into detailed mathematics? See also Fermionic field. RK 19:52, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

(David Edwards) As Whitaker pointed out in volume II of his history of the aether, quantum field theory allows a reentry of a relativistic ether; namely, spacetime is the seat of potential observables, i.e. it is a tectured medium.
