Axil, Thanks for the reference; yes, I've scanned it and it is of interest.
"Charge and dipoles shapes the vacuum and also the speed that light travels through it." And that 'shaping' of the vacuum is what we know of as E and B 'fields'. and I would bet that the B field is perpendicular to the dipole axis. How physicists can believe that the vacuum of space is nothing, and yet they, without question, accept and USE the permeability and permittivity of the vacuum to make calculations. How can 'nothing' have real physical properties which are used in common physical calculations? Elephant? What elephant? I don't see any elephant. -Mark Iverson From: Axil Axil [mailto:janap...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2013 9:12 PM To: vortex-l Subject: [Vo]:A sum rule for charged elementary particles http://arxiv.org/pdf/1301.3923v1.pdf A sum rule for charged elementary particles This paper draws a connection between charge and the behavior of the vacuum in a region. Charge and dipoles shapes the vacuum and also the speed that light travels through it. Increase the charge in a vacuum and the speed of light slows. Other fundamental constants also change. The fine structure constant is a function of the volume of particle-antiparticle pairs. This paper is a must read for the vacuum energy folks.
