Saying there is infinite energy in zero point energy and infinite virtual particles in vacuum energy, is this a real or just a mathematical thing?
Yes, please. Can you find out what evidence there is for zero point energy and virtual particles being real?
According to some theories, zero point energy is responsible for the Casimir effect, which has been observed experimentally. As for virtual particles, their existence has been indirectly confirmed through various experiments, such as the Lamb shift and the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron. However, many scientists feel that the concept of virtual particles is merely a convenient mathematical construct used to calculate physical effects.
