We concluded the previous chapter with the hope that the field may provide the way out of the paradoxes of thermodynamics. We point out that various intuitive ideas underlying field theory, such as action by ‘contact’, the idea of ‘locality’ or a ‘chain of causes’, or the mechanical model provided by the field, are respectively unintelligible, illusory, and redundant. Consequently, there is nothing ‘spooky’ about action at a distance.
