Question:

Consider this thesis: “Joseph Henry, America’s first professional physicist, caused the most recent basic change in the human view of the Universe when he discovered self-induction during a school vacation at the Albany Academy about 1830. Before that time, one could think of the Universe as composed of just one thing: matter. The energy that temporarily maintains the current after a battery is removed from a coil, on the other hand, is not energy that belongs to any chunk of matter. It is energy in the mass less magnetic field surrounding the coil. With Henry’s discovery, Nature forced us to admit that the Universe consists of fields as well as matter.” Argue for or against the statement.
