What type of transfer of energy can take place with little or no matter present?
Nomnom
Some forces, such as gravity or the electrostatic force, can act without direct contact. If a force is applied over a certain distance (such as, when an object falls), work is done, i.e., energy is transferred.
Ah, but what is direct contact? One electrostatic field pushing against another? If I touch something, it is the electrostatic fields pushing against each other. There is no direct contact!
