Wonderful.

the fabric of spacetime is not zero energy, there is in fact a thin layer of excitement down there at the plank scale. particles and their antiparticles coming into existence and then instantly annihilating one another.

If a zero energy state is thought of as the floor, then the constant small excitement of energy everywhere can be thought of as a shallow wavy puddle that covers the floor. We've observed its effects experimentally, in fact.

In the metaphor, the casimir effect is what happens when you float two pencils very close to each other on the puddle, and the waves between the pencils have less pushing power than on the outside, and thus they float together and touch.

We've done this with tiny plates and the void of space. A negative energy space exists between the plates, and pressure from the universe itself pushes them together. awesome.

all i know about op amps is that they are triangles what do calculus
