Two Nineteenth-century Scientists.  They're at the forefront of scientific progress.  This is the story of how they discovered a Field—and not just any old field, but an Electromagnetic one.  They discovered that the world is actually made up of invisible forces, and that electricity and magnetism are examples of them.  What's more, these scientists (whom we shall refer to as F and M for convenience) proved that the world isn't made up of solid matter—it's a gas consisting of tiny particles that can be in more than one place at the same time! Life before this discovery was dull, compared with life after.
