The Casimir effect is a pretty peculiar beast. =) But one thing to consider is that vacuum is not void. |

And I don't mean to be unfair by bringing it up. The Casimir Effect is not something predicted by Classical ED even if it has thematic similarities to aether ideas from Maxwell. I guess it just shows they had a shadow of vision of the future. What I'm driving at is that in neither Classical ED, nor Einsteinian QM, nor in modern QFT is the vacuum considered to be a void that can't have energy in it. Thus, I don't really respond to philosophical arguments that suppose the vacuum can't have energy going through it 'just because' - whether it's energy-less photons or these "signals" (as Atom & Sporks says in the video recommended video by Naej) from one charge to another that are very totally not energy propagating in a field, just, 'remote action effects.' :-[ |

I'm always VERRRRRRRRY skeptical of anyone who uses transparent, clickbaity hyperbole such as prepending the title with ✌️"The big..."✌️ I automatically think "if it's that big, people will know it instinctively, ergo your emphasising this is redundant, or merely for likes and subs" (sadly nearly ALWAYS the case, no matter who they are, or how "reputable". It's sad, and somewhat amusing to me that supposedly intelligent people on YouTube, nearly ALL seem to fall into that trap. |

So either: a) you find a flaw in the 3 lines proof of the theorem b) you find a counter-example to the theorem c) you compare Maxwell's equations to flat earth-theory. --- End quote --- No, thanks. Won't waste my time with a stillborn scientific paradigm rejected early on by Maxwell for very good reasons. --- Quote ---Conclusion: the statement "energy flows only in wires" is correct. --- End quote --- What you're doing is the same thing you're accusing Derek of having done. If the energy flows ONLY in the wires, the other theories are wrong. --- Quote ---Dave: could you transmit the first message to Derek please? --- End quote --- You've already had your 15 minutes of fame. |

And I know he's genuine about wanting to get mainstream people into science. |
