Calculating the Speed of Light Based on the Properties of the Quantum Vacuum

Gerd Leuchs, Margaret Hawton, and Luis L. Sánchez-Soto

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Maxwell’s equations perfectly describe the spatio-temporal structure of the electromagnetic field also in vacuum. Modelling the virtual elementary particle – antiparticle pairs in the vacuum as quantum harmonic oscillators reproduces the speed of light exactly.
