Nature uses both equally. Think about it TreBer

For example, the Casimir Effect. "When this field is instead studied using quantum electrodynamics, it is seen that the plates do affect the virtual photons which constitute the field, and generate a net force[2]either an attraction or a repulsion depending on the specific arrangement of the two plates. Although the Casimir effect can be expressed in terms of virtual particles interacting with the objects, it is best described and more easily calculated in terms of the zero-point energy of a quantized field in the intervening space between the objects." - Wikipedia What is physically occurring in nature is the aether displaced by the plates extends past the other plate. The aether is not at rest when displaced and applies pressure towards the plates doing the displacing. The pressure associated with the aether displaced by the plates which exists outside of the plates causes the plates to be pushed together. |
