And so in my mind, I think some of the next big chapters in physics are going to be centered around understanding the nature of the quantum vacuum and the quantum field. I think there's going to be a lot of fruit there. And that may provide us the opportunity to add more circles to the Venn diagram or maybe expand one or what have you and so forth.

That's a good question. So there's a lot of different approaches people have taken to try and explore the nature of the quantum vacuum. And you could even start to look at cosmological observations. We talk about dark energy, right? That's equated to the quantum vacuum at scale and the cosmological scale, if you will.

I think there's even some recent stuff that's come out in the peer-reviewed literature that the โ€“ A cosmological constant may not be constant. It may actually be changing over time. And so there's some experimentation. It has nothing to do with the idea of a space warp. The people that do work on that could care less about space warps.

But they're trying to understand the nature of the cosmological constant of the quantum vacuum at scale. So there's a domain where some interesting work might be done. I know universities all over the globe still do work today. with studying the Casimir force.

They make different types of things, different materials, and so forth, just to try and understand how materials respond when they make these small things and trying to understand how the quantum vacuum works with it. But I think there's also some other things that we can try. And so that goes, I think you've seen some of our work that we've been doing with some nanostructured devices

that we've been doing some work for DARPA for a number of years where we're actually trying to work on some systems that generate power. And so in the process of doing that, we've actually found that our nanotechnology may actually have some intersections with the idea of a space warp.

Right. Jamie, can you pull up one of those slides close to the โ€“ not that one. Go back. Keep going back a little bit more. Yeah, keep going up. Right there. Right there. So on the left-hand side of this image, there is a scanning electron microscope image of a nanostructure that we, in this case, we 3D-printed. And then we metallized it.
