*No, the energy does not move even in this case. In the hot part the 
molecules of the stone are oscillating.**By the contact between the 
molecules this motion, which is identical to the energy, is transferred 
to the other molecules. This way the energy is transported. The energy 
itself is no object.

*Of course one can relativise everything. But does this help us? A stone 
is more an object than a force. We cannot see a force, we see or measure 
certain effects and we assign them to a force. That can be very 
reasonable. But it does not change th**e fact that a force is abstract 
(not an object).*

*What do we observe directly? No one has ever seen a Up-quark. But 
nobody these days questions their existence as the calculatio**ns using 
these quarks have good results. Similar with the second particle. *

*You can transport an electrical charge from one object to the other 
one. And then the charge resides there. You cannot do this with a force 
or a field.*

*What you describe (and refuse) is exactly the so called reductionist's 
view of the world. And in my understanding this way of going on is the 
common sense of present science. The alternative (i.e. holism) is 
generally not understood to be science.

*I should have said "geometry". With Euclidean geometry the equation 
above cannot be solved. So Einstein invented a different one, which is 
more complicated. But in no way necessary. *

*No, not wrong at this point. Lorentz always assumed an absolute space. 
And the advantage of it is that we can maintain with Euclid. Contraction 
in his view was the contraction of fields. Oliver Heaviside found in 
1888 that (electrical) fields contract at motion against the absolute 
space. FizGerald and Lorentz concluded that objects contract at motion. 
That was contraction for them, and Special Relativity based on this (and 
on the internal motion with c) results in an SRT which is much simpler 
to understand and much more physical than the one of Einstein. - And 
this is dramatically more the case for GRT.*

S*o, what is more fundamental than a charge? ... Sounds to me like the

*As I wrote, I hav**e demonst**rated this in a lesson for fundamentals 
of electronics. **And you move a field f**rom one box to the other 
one**? Without moving a charge?  Right? **Plea**se de**monstrate!**
