ok. I appreciate this because they made something happen. Fred
   Hoyle would be proud right now. Poor guy - even my textbooks in
   the 80s made fun of him.... yet even then, the idea of there
   literally being "nothing" inbetween things when there were
   clearly FIELDS working just didn't make sense to me even then.
   So it's nice to see this. I'm not saying Steady State was better
   nor am I speaking about Creation or Big Bang or multiverse or
   Universe-that-creates-itself or anything like that: I just like
   that they took the good ol' Casimir effect and did something
   wickedly awesome with it.
