Qm virtual particle force on wire, acrose the universe

In summary, Lachlan and Bill discuss the concept of virtual particles and their non-existence. They also consider the potential impact of the expanding size of the universe on a wire traveling at near light speed. However, it is determined that this is not a question that quantum mechanics can address and it would be better suited for the relativity forum.

What would be the virtual particle force acting on a wire, which go's from say Earth to any part of the universe reseeding away from us at near light speed, or grater ?, would it break,
and how would we compute it ?

Virtual particles don't exist as has been discussed in numerous threads on this forum.

Since any velocity is stationary in its frame it wouldn't break.

Thanks

Thanks bill.
Ok, virtual particles, have no part to play here. As you state they don't exist
So, I suppose the ? becomes are case of our expanding space, reference point verse, the far end the wire expanding space reference point.
So not a ? QM can help with.

Thanks

The size of the universe is expanding - but that has no effect on objects occupying that space:

This isn't really a QM issue - you should post over on the relativity forum. Also see if you can make your query more specific.

Thanks

Related to Qm virtual particle force on wire, acrose the universe

1. What is a virtual particle force?

Virtual particle force refers to the force exerted by the exchange of virtual particles between two objects. These particles are not real, physical particles, but rather are temporary fluctuations in the quantum field that can transfer energy and momentum.

2. How does the Qm virtual particle force affect a wire?

The Qm virtual particle force can cause the wire to experience a slight attraction or repulsion, depending on the charge of the wire and the properties of the virtual particles being exchanged. This force is very weak and only noticeable at a very small scale.

3. Can the Qm virtual particle force travel across the entire universe?

Yes, the Qm virtual particle force can travel across the entire universe. As long as there are particles interacting with each other, the exchange of virtual particles can occur and the force can be transmitted.

4. Is the Qm virtual particle force responsible for all forces in the universe?

No, the Qm virtual particle force is just one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. The other three are gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Each force is responsible for different interactions between particles.

5. How is the Qm virtual particle force related to quantum mechanics?

The Qm virtual particle force is a phenomenon that arises from the principles of quantum mechanics. It is a result of the uncertainty principle, which states that particles can briefly borrow energy from the vacuum and create virtual particles. This force is therefore an essential aspect of quantum mechanics and helps us understand the behavior of particles at a subatomic level.
