| Alternate Theory There does exist an alternate theory. In this "Fluctuating Charged Particle Source Field Theory" it is assumed that although the quantum mechanical zero temperature vibrational fluctuations of atoms in matter do exist, the quantum mechanical zero temperature electromagnetic fluctuations of the vacuum do not exist. (The theory does not explain why one type of fluctuation is allowed and the other is not allowed, it just assumes it) The theory then goes onto say that all the experiments to date, including the Casimir experiment and the Lamb- Retherford experiment can be explained by saying that (The quantum mechanical zero temperature vibrational fluctuations of matter causes the charged particles in the apparatus to undergo random vibrational fluctuations. (2) These fluctuating charged particle "sources" emit electromagnetic radiation fields that travel through the vacuum where they are "received" by all the other charged particles in the apparatus. (3) The electromagnetic radiation field acts ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY on the receiving charged particles to cause them to move "in phase" with the transmitting charged particle "sources" (4) The "in phase" motions of the two widely separated charged particles produce correlated forces between the "source" particle and the "receiving" particle that in turn produce the observed experimental results. Amazingly enough, this alternate theory where the vacuum is assumed to have no fluctuations, seems to make the same predictions as the quantum theory where the vacuum fluctuations are assumed real. There is an experiment that can possibly distinguish between the two theories. It is described in the report. Summary There is a lot more to quantum mechanics than quantization of mass and energy and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, but I hope this introductory tutorial has been enough to help you understand why it is important to learn more about the quantum mechanical zero temperature electromagnetic fluctuations of the vacuum. Hopefully, the experiments proposed in the body of the report, if successfully carried out, can increase our knowledge and eventual applications of this "enigma cloaked in nothingness" called the vacuum.
