All punnery aside... like all seekers-of-truth, I opt for every
weak bubble to be burst, the sooner the better. Do you have a
reference for that?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect
"Overview
The Casimir effect can be understood by the idea that the
presence of conducting metals and dielectrics alter the vacuum
expectation value of the energy of the electromagnetic field.
Since the value of this energy depends on the shapes and
positions of the conductors and dielectrics, the Casimir effect
manifests itself as a force between such objects."
But, there seems to be more to it than this. It seems Casimir
is involved in all particle exchanges.
I wish I had time now to further investigate the specific details
as they might relate to water nanobubbles - before posting this.
Maybe later today. But on first glance, the quoted material above
might arguably favor a water-based nanobubble over any other
Casimir "target" for a number of reasons. Not the least of which
reasons is that if the nanobubble is (hypothetically) basically a
charge-containment vehicle, composed of a strong dielectric
exostructure (water) but with an enclosed charged species
(hydronium) then if correct, this structure probably becomes an
"exciton" which is not "just" conductive but possibly
superconductive, at least temporarily in the same sense that a
ferromagnetic domain has been said to have its own superconductive
shared electrons.
IOW if we just had this Wiki entry to go on - the jury is still
out on whether the Casimir is active for nanobubbles or not, but
with the enticing (slight) possibility that it could end up being
especially-active - should there be a hint of excitonic-type
superconductivity.
Would you not agree?
