Zero-Point Energy: Quantum Vacuum, Casimir Effect & Dark Energy

Zero-point energy (ZPE) is the lowest energy a quantum system can have, rooted in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It arises from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, causing quantum fluctuations in the vacuum, even at absolute zero. The Casimir effect proves ZPE, showing plates attract due to vacuum energy pressure. The Lamb shift, a shift […]

Why Don’t Ghosts Fall Through the Floor?

Ghosts in folklore selectively interact with the physical world, allowing them to walk on floors while passing through walls. This could be due to their control over quantum or energy states, existing in another dimension, or for narrative convenience in stories. There’s no scientific basis; it’s rooted in cultural beliefs and speculative fiction where ghosts […]
