All scientifically based comments welcome.

If we had place an object in a gravitational field it will move toward the source of the field. The field has an associate force with its own carrier. The force is inseparable from the field. It is a field of force. Other fields may not have an associated force. That is they do not move objects placed in them. We can say this of the Higgs field for instance.

However the force applied by a gravitational field adjusts to suit the mass. Moving different sized masses at the same rate. Even with changes in the density of materials.
