Is there anyone that has the patience to explain me the relation between vacuum energy and vacuum fluctuations? Aren't fluctuations the fluctuation of vacuum energy? So how can be proved fluctuations without proving energy?
Besides, as "Bob for short" says, there is not a final proof of the...
I think that there are some effects that can be explained through vacuum fluctuations, but there is not a real proof, if we do
not consider the casimir effect.
Thanks Born2bwire for the answers.
This is a question I'd like to ask. Vacuum without space is possible? Vacuum is the space itself? The infinite energy of vacuum is the energy of spacetime? Vacuum energy is the spacetime itself?
Exactly. This is my position. However, there's no reason to think that logic can understand all the characteristic of reality. But there's no reason also to think the contrary. So we can only say that an event that seems random could be caused or not. But, in my opinion, we can't explain...
I have some questions:
these processes broke the conservation of energy?
Some physicists claims that Casmir effec is not a valid proof of the existence of vacuum fluctuations (http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0503158). Are they right? But the quanta of foundamental interactions are VIRTUAL...
oh, yeah, it is. For centuries thinkers debated on the causes of the events. Hume said that there is no connection between an event and another: causes doesn't exist, the motion of billiard balls is random and not causal. We will indeed not solve this problem here.
How can I prove that...
yeah, but there is a foundamental difference between fairies and causes: at the macroscopic level there is causality. how can it be, if quantum world is random? The quantum causality must exist to explain the classical one. Also the brownian motion was thought at the beginning as random, only...
I'm a philosopher, and I will express the question in philosophical terms.
We don't know it, but it doesn't mean that God does play dice, that the single event is ontologically random (not epistemologically). If we really "DON'T KNOW IT", we can't say that an event is caused or not, because...
Hi I'm italian and my english is terrible. However, causality in QM is accepted. What is not allowed is the Determinism. Determinism is a philosophy based on Causality: all is caused. This is true in Classic Physic as in QM. But the problem of Determinism is that in this philosophy every event...
