2 Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism is the phenomenon of electric and magnetic fields, both of them being the same thing but made different by how charges move. A field is, fundamentally, a physical influence that exists throughout space.
Electromagnetism is also fundamentally related to special relativity because it is independent of the reference frame.
