You missed the point. Someone probably used a different phrase trying to describe a physical phenomena, which exists, under a different description.
You can take a look at some popular lectures of Dr.Krauss where he describes empty space in more detail, which is full of virtual particles.
- jdmichal 12y agoIt's not a missed point. The term "plasma" means something very specific. You can't just take an existing thing (virtual particles) and slap the term "plasma" to the end of it and necessarily be correct.
- cousin_it 12y agoImagine you're reading a paper about programming, and suddenly it mentions "refactoring the abstract megabyte". A non-programmer might insist that replacing "megabyte" with "class" makes the phrase kinda sorta meaningful, so the paper is totally legit. But I don't think you'd buy it. When you're unfamiliar with some field, and insiders to that field tell you that misuse of technical terms is a strong red flag, you'd better believe them. Their words come from painful experience.
