StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Now that said, and I'll just stop with the technical mumbo jumbo in one sentence, the concept of zero point energy, which is what the Sean Horst effect is talking about, is still highly uncertain.

Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

We would love to find out more about it and maybe someday we could in fact tap it to get something cool out of it for our use.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

I mean, is that... Yes, that's right.

StarTalk Radio

The Casimir effect is exactly what we're talking about here.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Casimir, everyone, in case you don't know, C-A-S-I-M-I-R.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

That sounds right.

The scientist, Dr. Casimir, hypothesized it exists, and it was in fact measured to exist.

That if you bring two plates of metal really, really close together, you actually wind up with energy that sort of magically...

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

but not magically, scientifically because of quantum physics, appears when you didn't think there was anything there, right?

And so this is taking it to the next level, the Scharnhorst effect would be like.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Uh, geez, I don't know.

Let's see.

I'm looking at everybody just so you know.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

It's like 458 pages.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

That's a commitment.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

Yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries โ€“ Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking with Charles Liu

You're very kind to say that.
