Very interesting but I have no idea what it means.

“The Elegant Universe” by Brian Greene was/is a fascinating book on string theory and quantum mechanics.
That said, there are only 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don’t.

“This would allow the creation of an analogue to a black hole event horizon. In fact,” he adds, “we’re hoping to create an artificial event horizon . . . “
Um, Professor? Just be careful, OK?

Sounds like Congress...

Whatever UFOs are using for fuel, it sure as heck isn’t petroleum based!

“....of the dynamical Casimir effect using a Josephson metamaterial embedded in a microwave cavity at 5.4 GHz...”
I first read it as ‘Catimir’, and figured PETA would have been all over them for their little “experiment”.
On the other hand, I’m really glad that there are folks like this that are WAY smarter than I am!

Good one, now I'll have to clean my monitor screen...

It means we will be getting energy from the vacuum ... if the globalist oligarchs allow us to get out of using petroleum all the time, which will cut into the globalists’ income stream, so don’t count on tapping zero point energy during your lifetime.

Thanks for the post; led me to readings on Casimir Effect, Tunneling electrons, STM microscopes and related topics for past three hours or whatever. No wonder I don’t have any dates!
