The researchers speculated that a large beam, the laser should be powerful enough to RIP in addition to the structure of the vacuum of space-time itself. "New Scientist" explains how to create a powerful ghost of laser particle effects can be observed:
- The uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics means that empty space can not be true. On the contrary, random fluctuations in birth a boiling cauldron known as positrons, particles such as electrons and their antimatter counterparts.
- These so-called "virtual particles", usually too quickly for us to destroy each other to inform them. However, physicists predicted in the 1930s, a very strong electric field will be converted into real ones, we can observe the virtual particles. To promote the field in the opposite direction, because they have the opposite charge, to separate them so that they can not destroy one. Laser is ideal for this task, because their light has a strong electric field.
