Let there be ping.

Hooray! Now I can “1-UP” my kid who told me all about the “neutrinos go faster than the speed of light” story today.

...the vacuum is full of various particles that are continuously fluctuating in and out of existence....

Big deal! The last time I was abducted by aliens, they told me all about that.

[Imnidiot]

That really is something...to take an impeller, a belt, a bag, (and whatever else they used from the vacuum) and to create Light...what a wonder!

[andy58-in-nh]

It's been done.

This could get into a whole “there never was nothingness” discussion, but that might exclude the Friday afternoon existentialists.

What happens during the experiment is that the “mirror” transfers some of its kinetic energy to virtual photons, which helps them to materialise

Sleight of hand. Cold fusion guys are pilloried for doing essentially the same thing.

So, there is something in the heads of liberals, however fleeting?

The lights are on, but nobody's home.

At last we know why there is a light when we open the refrigerator door. The virtual photons become real ones.

quite interesting...
but it also says that there could be a whole amount of stuff
that we cannot apprise with normal sensing devices. A
whole universe of stuff we will never know very much about,
cause it takes too much energy to expose it.
Is there any chance that the vibrating “mirror” could be
putting out those particles itself?
