11 May 2001 | | Journal: | C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 2-IV (2001) p.1287-1298 | | Subject: | quant-ph gr-qc | | Abstract: | The existence of irreducible field fluctuations in vacuum is an important prediction of quantum theory. These fluctuations have many observable consequences, like the Casimir effect which is now measured with good accuracy and agreement with theory, provided that the latter accounts for differences between real experiments and the ideal situation considered by Casimir. But the vacuum energy density calculated by adding field mode energies is much larger than the density observed around us through gravitational phenomena. This ``vacuum catastrophe’’ is one of the unsolved problems at the interface between quantum theory on one hand, inertial and gravitational phenomena on the other hand. It is however possible to put properly formulated questions in the vicinity of this paradox. These questions are directly connected to observable effects bearing upon the principle of relativity of motion in quantum vacuum. | | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/0105053 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
