A Force from Empty Space: The Casimir Effect

NASA APOD · Umar Mohideen (U. California at Riverside)
COSMIC MESSAGE

This tiny ball demonstrates the Casimir Effect, where quantum fluctuations in empty space create a subtle attractive force. This effect, discovered 50 years ago, provides evidence that the universe will expand forever. It suggests that most of the universe's energy density is in an unknown form called dark energy.
