Fields Are Not Probabilities

EM waves are fields. But they are also the quantum waves of the photon. So they are not probabilities except for where the waves will collapse in space. The same is expected for matter particles.

Only the physicists who think fields do not exist view quantum waves as probability waves.

Dualists think there are both fields and waves. Realists think they are one or the other(snicker).
