How Many Fields Are There?

Would we even have Will Smith without the Higgs field? That'd be like a slap in the face to the universe too soon. Our modern concept of what space is from a quantum mechanical perspective involves basically a bunch of quantum fields. There's one for every kind of particle that's out there. The deepest question is like why do we have these fields? Why do they exist? How many different kinds of fields are there? And the answer is we just don't know. We've observed these fields. We found them. They wiggle the same way that water in your bathtub wiggles or in a similar way at least.
