Casimir Effects: Peter Milonni's lecture at the Institute for Quantum Computing

[KakHazhar]

Great lecture.

This could also explain 'dark energy' if more energy is acting on the outside of the strips pushing them in than on the inside pushing out then the universe which contains all the 'zero point' energy (I think its the actual fabric of space-time) pusing out into nothing just like water fills whatever is holding it.

The energy thats being produced and repaid if accordance with Heisenberg uncertainty relations is the fabric of space-time.

casimir effect maybe the very reason of what happens at the bermuda triangle, two plates causing a casimir effect

[Kaeralho]

@prophetofthenow how so? what plates?

Great lecture, made even more great by the fact that Dr. Milonni used a hockey stick to teach Quantum Physics.

O Canada.

You'd have to be immensely nerdy to chuckle at the joke he made about the books expanding at the rate of a logarithmic scale lollll

@MattBurton1987

If laughing at that is not cool, then you can just go ahead and not call me Miles Davis

@MattBurton1987 "but there's no violation of relativity because no information is being transmitted" lol (laughed out low).
