Photon time delay resulting from vacuum fluctuations: the vacuum as a dielectric
G. B. Mainland, Bernard Mulligan
It is not possible to detect a vacuum fluctuation without a test particle interacting with the vacuum fluctuation in a measurable manner. In the quantum electrodynamics calculation…

Theoretical calculation of the fine-structure constant and the permittivity of the vacuum
G. B. Mainland, Bernard Mulligan
Light traveling through the vacuum interacts with vacuum fluctuations similarly to the way that light traveling through a dielectric interacts with ordinary matter. And just as the…
