This tiny ball provides evidence that the universe will expand forever. Measuring slightly over one tenth of a millimeter, the ball moves toward a smooth plate in response to energy fluctuations in the vacuum of empty space. The attraction is known as the Casimir Effect, named for its discoverer, who, 55 years ago, was trying to understand why fluids like mayonnaise move so slowly. Today, evidence indicates that most of the energy density in the universe is in an unknown form dubbed dark energy.
The form and genesis of dark energy is almost completely unknown, but postulated as related to vacuum fluctuations similar to the Casimir Effect but generated somehow by space itself. This vast and mysterious dark energy appears to gravitationally repel all matter and hence will likely cause the universe to expand forever. Understanding vacuum energy is on the forefront of research not only to better understand our universe but also for stopping micro-mechanical machine parts from sticking together.

We have the same molecules of our yellow dwarf star in the sky,Stars seem to be bound by multicomponent super hot plasma and in the center reach over 100 million kelvins we are all made of the same molecules,and bleed the same color so under the same atmosphere ,why should you want to know Me….
Or Me want to know you..
Because we are unique and
I’ve found your work facsinating so we’re did we come from? Was it light that formed a atom ,into absolute vacuum..

I’ll end with a poem the capacity to be alone is the capacity to love .
It may look paradoxical to you,but it is not.
It is an existential truth.
Only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love,of sharing,of going in to the deepest core of the other person without becoming dependent on the other person without becoming dependent on the other without becoming addicted to the other, without reducing the other to a thing and without
Unconditional absolute freedom thier happiness can not be taken away
So I’ve been trying to learn from you and would love to be your friend,and just wanted to say Thank you for all you have shared
I will always be a friend if you need one that’s all I’m unconditionally attached to the love of my life.
I’m only offering friendship
It’s late and I’m turning off the switch now your work is Brilliant,keep up the neuroscience,physics,what lightning does and be the Bright Star that you are
From
A friend
