  • You shake this particle, it shakes that one, but if you want to think in a field way, the field, if it's there, would be entirely determined by the matter which generates it, and therefore, the field does not have any independent degrees of freedom and the infinities from the degrees of freedom would then be removed.

  • Further, if we examine the structure of the theory, after the infinities are amalgamated into the mass and charge terms, we see that the only mass and charge appearing in the theory are the values modified by field reactions - the original values and excess ones due to field reactions never appear separately.

  • It would also give them a way to keep from finding 'infinities' in the current set of equations (they don't know why atoms don't just fall together into black holes from their gravity).
