As I write this, I am realizing there are different force fields in different Sci-Fi. So hard to argue without pinning down what we are talking about.
I don’t think we even have a useful theory on how they could work.
Charlatans claim progress periodically.
Magnets are as likely to accelerate something as repel. Lots of things are no magnetic, or are made magnetic by a magnetic field, and then attracted.
A plasma shield is going to be hot and burn shit, not stop it. Maybe we can do that. Going to suck power like mad though. I doubt we can do it and not burn the generator.
Sci-fi only.

Well, there’s also gravity. We’re still trying to figure that one out. Maybe there’s a way to emit gravity to produce a forcefield effect.
