I watched this documentary about an argument involving information loss in a black hole, Stephen Hawking managed to wind everybody up by claiming information was lost and therefore broke existing laws of physics.
Its an old recording so it may not be relevant anymore but one part of this...
I'm not sure I understand your answer.
Why would you need to add energy to the system to put the plates into position?
As I see it you're just converting/using existing energy to move the plates into position.
I kind of get the idea that its recovering the amount of energy needed to...
Believe it or not youtube is a great place to search, just about every aspect of science is covered with multiple video's explaining the same thing using slightly different analogies.
Firstly my knowledge of science is armchair tv level so any overly complicated explanations will be lost on me.
What is going on it terms energy conservation with the casimir effect.
As I understand it virtual particles created outside the plates have a greater range of wavelengths than...
