The key actor of classical field:
light (electromagnetic wave, not photon) and the velocity of light transmit in
vacuum.
The basic intention of classical field theory is to describe the electromagnetic phenomenon of macrocosmos, not the gravitation phenomenon.
1.At first, the electromagnetic phenomenon of macrocosmos can be viewed as classical mechanics movement of charges (particle). (ref)
