Posted by michael on from the touchy-feely dept.

HobbySpacer writes "A recent article in Physics World provides a lucid description of the the Casimir effect, which is an attractive force between two surfaces caused by electromagnetic fluctuations in the vacuum. The article discusses some practical application such as the nanotech machines mentioned here earlier."

    The guy is asking a perfectly vaid question. Just because you have a good insight of physics, it doesn't mean most of the populaion does.

    You maybe smart, but you seem to be ignorant.

    Instead of showing your cock off to everyone about how intelligent you are. Why don't you acctually explain the difference?
