Time and quantum gravity again...
Physicists have become increasingly argumentative about what exactly time is. because this is now being recognised as perhaps the most fundamental question of all. For decades they have been attempting to wed quantum mechanics, our theory of how very small things behave, to relativity, our theory of how space, time and matter interact. This would give us the long-sought-after theory of quantum gravity that describes the entire universe.
Space, time and matter interaction. Sounds familiar.

This question also has a strong pedigree. In the 1930s, the mathematical genius John von Neumann tried to use Boltzmann's ideas to construct a quantum arrow of time. He failed - as has everyone who has tried it since.
That doesn't surprise Steinberg, whose work with quantum systems has left him convinced that we are missing a fundamental idea of what time is. To illustrate the point, Steinberg considers a quantum-mechanical process called tunnelling, which allows particles such as photons to burrow through barriers they don't have enough energy to get over. Steinberg asks a simple question: how long does the particle take to cross the barrier? It was first asked in the 1930s, and the answer remains elusive.

Nope, do you? And if you do, why aren't you telling us?![]()

I don't have to tell since according to your previous post .......quote wrote: To go "Back into the Future" we don't need Dr. Brown's "flux capacitor" but his special tunnel diode.
.........that "his" special tunnel diode is the ticket as you stated. I just wanted to know on what facts you based your definitive statement.

"Casimir force" is the quantum vacuum...the zpf, zpe,aether, dark energy, cosmological constant, gravity, dimension of
time.
For smaller parts, the levitation will occur using a phenomenon called the "Casimir force", which was predicted by quantum physicists back in 1948. It wasn’t proven to exist until scientists were finally able to measure it ten years ago. Scientists are still struggling to fully understand it.
The force is caused by a little understood quirk of nature which seemingly enables particles to “pop into existence” from out of nowhere. This creates a force that pushes together two objects placed very close to each other.
