Physically saying, I do not exist. But, if I do exist, that won’t be perfect. Many are intrigued by my nature, that they always try to make me more isolated. Asking ‘How lonely is a vacuum?’ is a dumb question. But I still ask that myself(so sad). Let’s see how Wikipedia defines me:

The word vacuum comes from Latin,  meaning ‘an empty space, void’

– A Latin guy

-Wikipedia

Some Latin guy said something, as usual. Yeah, I can easily win those facebook challenges for ‘Millions of Dollars’ where you have to live in a house on a cliff or something like that, with no wifi, electricity,etc..blah blah. That’s me. 

Let me be more scientific. People in research call me different names(names with numbers, kind of Elon Musk’s child’s). They say my name is so variable, even my surnames (not what you think). As usual, I am not perfect. The perfect me doesn’t exist. The more I am away from others, the better I am. But that tiny creepy thing can destroy my perfection. 

Yes! Those tiny creepy things are the ‘Quantum Bubbles’ (Unexpected sudden transition, sad noises for non-physicists). In the paper titled ‘The vacuum is not empty,’ Roberto Lengo explains my non-emptiness. Since most of you are non-physicists, let’s not go into much detail. 

I’m vacuum, you can’t see me, but I am right here.

Said by vacuum.

People create me by taking away my close friends, making space more empty by those bloodsucking pumps. They call them many fancy names. Uhh, dumb pumps! My perfection depends on my parent pump. Okay, let’s talk about them. Their capacity typically ranges from 10 ^-3 Torr to 10^-13 Torr. Yes, there are so many. As I said earlier, most of them function by sucking out molecules and other particles by a rotor, diaphragm, etc. Their capacity depends on their method….. 

Yeah, I get it. Feeling bored, right? Well, let’s not talk about them, then. Let’s talk about what’s my use in research. Experimental researchers like me a lot. They can place small ions in me and study their properties without any disturbance; yes, I am talking about ion traps. Materials and things placed within me considered to be isolated from disturbances of other particles. That’s where my significance comes. When you say a particle is placed in vacuum, that means the particle is by itself; no friends. 

This is the experimental physicist’s vacuum. However, there is a theoretical physicist’s vacuum as well. That vacuum is defined as the zero number of particle states of all kinds of particles in nature. Particles are treated as excitations of fields. Sometimes the theoretical physicist’s vacuum fluctuates and causes anomalous effect. Such as Lamb shift in Atomic Physics. This vacuum can even exert forces. When we make a closed metallic container, the surface experiences a force which arises due to vacuum quantization of the EM field. So, force out of nothing. Let that sink in. This is known as Casimir Effect.

I am so proud that there is a research field with my name: ‘Vacuum research’. Wait, there’s research on every field. So pride lost. Anyway, my introverted dumb life has no meaning. Oh my GOOOOD, I am so depressed. Where are those WhatsApp depression doctors? Give me some medication, please. I want support, I’m so isolated, I have no friends, family or anything. What’s more sad than that? I’m asking you petty depressed peeps, what’s more pathetic than that? Okay, peeps, lonely sad vacuum has nothing more to say. Wish I could talk more. Anyway, thanks for reading this small shit story.
