The zero-point energy of elementary quantum fields
Gerold Gründler
Since 1925, exactly four arguments have been forwarded for the assumption of a diverging (respectively --- after regularization --- very huge) zero-point energy of elementary quant…
Electrical charges in gravitational fields, and Einstein's equivalence principle
Gerold Gründler
According to Larmor's formula, accelerated electric charges radiate electromagnetic waves. Hence charges should radiate, if they are in free fall in gravitational fields, and they…
Canonical quantization of elementary fields
Gerold Gründler
An inconsistency of quantum field theory, regarding the signs of vacuum energy and vacuum pressure of elementary fields versus non-elementary fields (like e.g. phonon fields), is p…
The Casimir-Effect: No Manifestation of Zero-Point Energy
Gerold Gründler
The attractive force between metallic surfaces, predicted by Casimir in 1948, seems to indicate the physical existence and measurability of the quantized electromagnetic field's ze…
