摘要: Some thoughts on the electromagnetic vacuum are presented in connection with and source fields as alternative physical bases for understanding spontaneous emission, Lamb shift, Casimir effects, van der Waals forces, "thermalization" of fluctuations a uniformly accelerated observer. `And sometimes it seemed that something never yet seen long desired was about to happen, veil would drop from all; but then passed, nothing happened, riddle remained unsolved, secret spell unbroken... still one knew perhaps, waiting listening.'Hermann Hesse, Narcissus Goldmund
