“There is no suchthing as absolutely empty space. All space contains fluctuating fields and particles. Even in the emptiest space that the… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“To date, we don't know of any object that cannot, for certain, be subdivided. The chemist's atom consists of nucleus and electrons;… — Henning Genz Theory Copy Share Image
“There is field for every particle. If that field is concentrated in some spatial region, the particle of that field is likely… — Henning Genz Theory Copy Share Image

“Bodies influence the space that surrounds them; they tell us whatever we can learn about that space. Does this mean that, possibly,… — Henning Genz Empty space Copy Share Image
“The freezing of water is called a phase transition. The temperature at which this happens is called a critical temperature. A different… — Henning Genz Phase Transition Copy Share Image
