Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of vacuum, exploring its properties and potential implications in physics. Participants raise questions about the nature of vacuum, its energy states, and its behavior in relation to waves and fundamental forces.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether vacuum has a quantum or energy state.
  • Another participant asks if vacuum behaves like waves, suggesting that this could change the understanding of physical phenomena.
  • There is curiosity about how to measure the distance between vacuums.
  • One participant proposes that the properties of vacuum might influence interactions between particles, such as electrons and positrons.
  • Concerns are raised about discussing personal theories, with a reminder of site guidelines regarding such discussions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature of vacuum, with some focusing on its emptiness while others explore its potential properties and implications. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing ideas presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the definitions and implications of vacuum, and the discussion includes philosophical ideas that are not fully developed or agreed upon.

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.
