There is an agreement in physics that low energy EM fields are called waves, such as radio waves, and high energy EM fields are called photons or even particles. In any case they are actually both. If they are physical objects I don't know. I think, I wouldn't go that far.

- danbruc 7y agoThey are also just in the models and heads of physicists.
- tsimionescu 7y agoSure, they are both, but my point was - if they have wave-like characteristics, they must be a wave of/in something; if we can have experimental evidence that the wave exists, I would consider that experimental evidence that the field the wave is a wave of must also exist, to the same extent.
