SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the properties of vacuum, specifically its potential quantum and energy states, and whether it behaves like waves. Key questions raised include the nature of vacuum's distance measurement and its role in physical phenomena, such as mass and gravity. The conversation highlights the philosophical implications of viewing vacuum as an oscillating factor influencing mass and energy interactions, particularly in relation to photons and fundamental forces. The need for a deeper understanding of vacuum's properties is emphasized, alongside a caution against personal theories in scientific discourse.

PREREQUISITES

I never found anything about vacuum, instead of emptiest space, ether theory, gravity... there's not much definition about vacuum.

I have some question about vacuum;
Q1)Does vacuum have quantum/energy state?
Q2)Does vacuum behave like waves?
Q3)How to know distant between vacuums exactly?
Q4)Is there anything more about vacuum properties?

I found that if vacuum really behave like wave, there is really different to the way to understand and visualise physics phenomenon. At the first I tought I can find some new discovery, however, it seems to be fatal.

At first it may fit some fenomena, the general relativity and Lorent contraction. What I assume is mass is due to the oscillating factor due to the wave, the more oscillating factor(fast or slow, damp or loose... I don't know how, it just philosophical ideas), the more the mass; when the mass move faster, the oscillating factor also increase. These also "applyable" to photon, however photon don't have mass. However, both mass and photon share same properties of this oscillating factor: both wavelength decrease at higher magnitude of this oscillating factors.

I also though that gravity can be visualise by wave like vacuum/space, but i have no idea what I am thinking about. Even for electromanetic, strong and weak force I had tried.

Anyway, yet I still like to know about vacuum. Anyone who know about vacuum?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Vacum means empty space.
Are your sure your it's a vacuum your talking about or somthing elese?
 
Yah I know, vacuum is just empty, what I mean is, does vacuum posses some kind of reaction that related to current phenomena?

For example, electron and positron react to each other, instead of talking about mass and charge, is it possible the "properties" of vacuum take into account?

And that's why I tried to think weither vacuum is wave or not.
 
If you will read the guide lines you agreed to, to post on this web site. You will find that discussion of personal theories is not permitted.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
