In other contexts, you have claimed that gravitational fields are real, even though gravitational fields are observer-dependent. (That's Einstein's equivalence principle, BTW, which you have taken such great pains to deny.) The
E and
B fields are observer-dependent also, but they're just as real as gravitational fields.
You understand neither electromagnetism nor relativity. If you did understand those things, you'd know what a field is, and you'd know that
E and
B are fields...trivially...by the very definition of the word
field.
I provided that link in my post above. You must not have read the Wikipedia article on fields in physics, because you're still making the same absurd claim.
