Reddit mentions of An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (Frontiers in Physics) by Michael E.Peskin and Dan V.Schroeder B01_0011

How many times are you going to post articles about this absurd "theory" of theirs? It's been explained to you many times why it's wrong.

On to this bad article.

>“pushes off of quantum vacuum fluctuations… and moves in one direction while a wake is established in the quantum vacuum that moves in the other direction.”

Again. This is so absurdly wrong. You cannot push of vacuum fluctuations or virtual particles. I made an entire post dedicated to this.

>the energy to create virtual particles can be considered as “borrowed” and “paid back” in a very short time.

This is also horribly inaccurate. Virtual particles are not real. Feynman came up with them to visualize parts of a mathematical calculation. They are not actual particles. If you disagree read this, calculate some amplitudes, then get back to me.

> This quantum vacuum concept is part of mainstream consensus physics: according to Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate in Physics, “the quantum vacuum is a dynamic medium, whose properties and responses largely determine the behavior of matter.”

This is taken completely out of context to make it seem like White's idea has some merit. It does not. This is completely disconnected from White's idea.

>What is more controversial is the idea of treating the quantum vacuum as a medium capable of supporting acoustic oscillations that carry momentum in one direction, pushing the EmDrive in the other.

This is not controversial, it's flat out wrong. The vacuum is defined as a|0> = 0, the state which the annihilation operator brings to zero. It cannot support acoustic whatever or anything else they are proposing. It's like asking if an ant can support chocolate ice cream in the 23rd dimension. It's just nonsensical.

>But, according to the Eagleworks researchers, this ideas is suggested by the results of their 2015 paper titled “Dynamics of the Vacuum and Casimir Analogs to the Hydrogen Atom,” showing that “the first 7 energy levels of the hydrogen atom could be viewed as longitudinal resonant acoustic wave modes in the quantum vacuum.”

This is a crackpot paper in a crackpot journal from a predatory publisher. Look at Jeffrey Beall's list. It's all numerology an analogy, not actual science. I debunked it long ago.

>Pilot-Waves in the Quantum Vacuum

Quantum mechanics has zero to do with the operation of RF cavities. If you disagree I implore you to read Jackson Classical Electrodynamics, Ch. 8 and get back to me.

How many times is this going to have to be explained here and to hack science journalists until it's understood that White's "theory" ideas are plain stupid?
