How vacuum fluctuations determine the properties of the vacuum
G. B. Mainland, Bernard Mulligan
Particle-antiparticle pairs are predicted by quantum field theory to appear as vacuum fluctuations. The model of the vacuum used here is postulated to have the following properties…

Polarization of vacuum fluctuations: source of the vacuum permittivity and speed of light
G. B. Mainland, Bernard Mulligan
There are two types of fluctuations in the quantum vacuum: type 1 vacuum fluctuations are on shell and can interact with matter in specific, limited ways that have observable conse…
