In this theory you still have something. You have particles. You have photons. You have "uncharged plates" You don't have "nothing".

The plates are in a "vacuum" as we normally consider it. In the skinny volume between the plates there is less pressure than in the "vacuum" surrounding the plates. Attractive forces between the plates can be eliminated. Thus, the "vacuum" wasn't empty.

Your attempted rebuttal simply misses the point. It's like those "You still have a designer" rebuttals to any scientific experiment conducted in a lab by a human.

Do you or do you not have photons? Do you or do you not have particles? You miss my point. You do not have NOTHING because in this world you can NOT have nothing.

Do you have nothing more than belittling in your descriptions? I thought you in good faith agreed not to do this sort of thing.
