But can we really explain it all?

Article Abstract:

Physicist David Deutsch believes that the theory expounded in his book 'The Fabric of Reality' explains the how and why of the Universe. The problem with his theory is that one must take his particular view of evolution, quantum physics and human knowledge, each of which has several branches of thought.

Filling the void: the Casimir effect

Article Abstract:

The Casimir force is a principle of quantum electrodynamics that proposes that atomic particles can be created in a vacuum because of the energy bursts such a vacuum would contain. The theory was proven in research by Steve Lamoreaux at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The cost of forgetting

Article Abstract:

Scientists have determined that a perfectly efficient engine is not possible even when considering the problem from the perspective of quantum mechanics. James Clark Maxwell posed the question in 1871 and it was answered using conventional physics in 1981.
