Vacuum Energy in the 21st Century

The “Vacuum” which is modeled as a “Aether Gas” whose constituents are the “Aetherons” must be re-interpreted; based on 21st Century Physics.

One of the main misunderstandings is that we now live in the 21st Century, and we understand a lot more; so based on the classical interpretation of the vacuum, we now have to discuss two (2) different types of vacuums.

The first (1st) type of “Vacuum” which is modeled as a “Aether Gas” whose constituents, should be named a “Baryonic Vacuum” and the second (2nd) type of vacuum should be named a “Non-Baryonic Vacuum.”

The first (1st) type of vacuum, the “Baryonic Vacuum” is the one that you are the most familiar with. And you are correct here in stating that a real or true “Baryonic Vacuum” will never exist, and is always a “partial vacuum.”

A “Baryonic Vacuum” is a volume of space that is filled with atomic matter such as atoms, electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Now let’s do a “thought experiment or Gedankenexperiment.”

Image we create an experiment where we build a “rectangular box” that can be sealed, and set this box in a room where we can turn on and off the lights in this room. Now returning to our “rectangular box” inside the box we insert a “flashlight” that we can turn on and off, and a “bell” that we can ring on and off.

The next condition is that we are external observers to the “rectangular box” and its contents, such that while standing in the room and viewing the box as an external observer, if the “flashlight” is turned on we can see the light; and if the “bell” is rung or turned on, we can hear the bell when it rings, while standing outside of the box and in the room.

The next condition is that we design the electronics of the “rectangular box” so that when the box is sealed, we can install a vacuum pump that will allow us to vacuum pump the “Baryonic Matter: air molecules, electrons, protons, and neutrons” out of the box. The second set of electronics provides us with a set of switches, that allow us to turn on and off the “flashlight”, and to turn on and off the “bell” without opening the box.
Ok, now that our experiment is set up, we are ready to do the experiment.

The first (1st) – “sealed box” experiment –

(1) Turn off the light in the room. (2) Turn “off” the vacuum pump. (3) let the “Baryonic Matter: air molecules, electrons, protons, and neutrons” remain in the box. (4) Turn “on” the flashlight; we see the light. (5) Turn “on” the bell, we hear the bell ringing.

The Second (2nd) – “sealed box” experiment –

(1) Turn off the light in the room. (2) Turn “on” the vacuum pump. (3) remove the “Baryonic Matter: air molecules, electrons, protons, and neutrons” from the box; this is a vacuum state. (4) Turn “on” the flashlight; we see the light. (5) Turn “on” the bell, we “do not” hear the bell ringing.

In this experiment we have results. Inside the box we have a vacuum sate. Although we suck or remove all of the “Baryonic Matter: air molecules, electrons, protons, and neutrons” from the box; in the real world we can never pump all of the “Baryonic Matter” from the box or vacuum. This is what is known as a “Partial Vacuum. Thus, all “Baryonic Vacuums” are not true or real vacuums but are only “Partial Vacuums”

Since the air molecules have been pumped out of the box we “do not” hear the bell because sound waves need “air molecules” to vibrate to produce sound. Since the air molecules have been “removed” or reduced to a very, very rare minimum number, the sound waves can’t propagate because there aren’t any molecules to vibrate in sufficient number. Remember the bell is still operating properly we just can’t hear it because there is nothing to wave!

However, we can still see the “flash light” shining brightly, but can’t hear the bell ringing; Why??

Here is where our second (2nd) type of vacuum the “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” must be discussed.

The second (2nd) type of vacuum which is modeled as a “Aether Gas” whose constituents, the “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is the one that we are the most unfamiliar with. The “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is a vacuum that is seething with a form of energy known as the Aether.

A “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is a volume of space that is filled with Aether or “Non-Baryonic” matter such as photons, Bosons, Aetherons, Dark-Matter, and Dark Energy. This “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is host to spontaneous emission of photon-photon pair production and matter-antimatter pair production.

This modern view of the vacuum supports spontaneous emission of photon-photon pair production in the “Non-Baryonic Vacuum.”

This “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is also host to electromagnetic fields and is why we can see the shining light of the flashlight, when the “Baryonic Matter” is removed from the sealed rectangular box, in our thought or Gedankenexperiment.”

Finally, this “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” is always a real or true vacuum and is never a partial vacuum. Wherever you have a volume of space you have this “Non-Baryonic Vacuum” energy that cannot be removed from any container. An infinite amount of Matter and energy can be created from this “Non-Baryonic Vacuum”

I hope this brings enlightenment to your current understanding of the Vacuum Energy in the 21st century!
