Brian Posted January 19, 2017 Studying the quantum vacuum: Traffic jam in empty space Essentially stopping time is a cool concept, not to mention the idea of measuring (and altering) the noise of nothing, or even just talking about creating a space more empty than emptiness (much less doing it). Taking readings at a rate of20 million measurements per second is kinda mind-blowing, too. The very last line, though, is important -- a "photon" is not a quantized packet of energy but a measure for the local quantum statistics of electromagnetic fields in space-time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
