Absolute Vacuum

One of the most important things that you absolutely have to remember as a person with debt is that the economy will play a major role in how you are required to repay your debts. Some individuals think of their debt in a vacuum and they don't understand just how important it is to see all sides of the issue. Whether your debt is credit card related or tied up in some other sort of personal debt, you will undoubtedly be dealing with a company that really needs money. In the current economy, with so many creditors in a lot of trouble, this can really be an advantage.

When talking about this issue, we have to start with debt settlement because that is the means by which most people get out of big financial holes. When you think about settling your major debts with creditors, you should understand the negotiations process that goes along with it. You won't just call these people and have them hand over a great deal. In fact, you will usually have to leverage your situation and haggle a little bit if that sort of thing is in you. With the economy in the dumps, these people have far less leverage than they used to. You can use this to your advantage.

Understand that in the current economy, debt settlement is much easier for the consumer, as opposed to being much harder. In a good economy, the lenders would have more cash on hand and they would not have to hand out really nice settlement deals to debtors. They could, instead, let the process play out, hoping to get more of the debt back on a percentage basis. That is not the case when the economy goes into the tank, because these companies are in bad shape from a cash flow standpoint. Many lenders have had to take a government bailout and many of them are doing everything in their power to make sure that they are pulling in money.

So how can you use this knowledge to your advantage? In general, it is best to act as soon as possible to leverage the economy in your situation. The economy is not making a bounce recovery anytime soon, but you will benefit most from catching these lenders when they are at their absolute low point. That will give you a chance to settle these old debts for as little as 20% in some cases.

NOTE: By researching and comparing the best debt settlement services in the market, you will determine the one that meets your very specific financial situation. As usual, professional advise coming from a seasoned debt counselor is highly recommended.

Ok... Vacuum Energy?

I just read this article pertaining to the Casimir Effect
http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/C/Casimir.html
It even a container with an "absolute" vacuum would have electromagnetic waves of every wavelength... where do these waves come from?
Are they produced by the surrounding material or would they still be there if we hypothetically had an absolute void?

Best Answer goes to whoever addresses the different aspect of the question(s) the best.
If any of the previous answerers checks back what is the name of the spontaneous creation of quantum particles and are they quarks?
Whats up with the negative votes? Thumbs down with no rebuttal answer? Thats terrorism. lol

The energy is produced by pairs of particles that come into existence spontaneously with positive and negative charge. The energy to create them is literally 'borrowed' from the vacuum. The particles travel a distance (usually pretty short) and then collide, destroying each other and repaying the debt to the vacuum.

This constant creation and destruction of particles is what creates the electromagnetic waves. Between the Casimir plates, some of the created particles can escape before reuniting with their counterparts. This decreases the electromagnetic waves and causes the 'negative' pressure that allows the plates to move closer together (as the higher pressure from outside pushes them).

It's theorized that some sort of similar spontaneous particle creation is responsible for the event that resulted in the Big Bang, where energy/matter literally came 'out of nowhere', much to the dismay of those who believe something cannot come out nothing.

Also, 'Hawking Radiation' which is produced in the vicinity of a black hole is believed to be caused when one of a pair of self-created particles ventures over the event horizon, and is swallowed up by the black hole. The other particle remains outside the event horizon, and escapes into space, where it looks like radiation emitted by the black hole.

So, the 'empty' vacuum of space itself creates the particles, and thus the waves that push on the plates. So-called 'empty' space contains a huge amount of vacuum energy, which might be better called 'potential' energy that may have played an important role in the beginning and development of the earliest stages of our Universe.

EDIT: Because of the duality of particles and waves, and because we're talking about electromagnetic fields here, the 'particle' would be more akin to an electron. Quarks are only thought to exist in groups of three; nobody has ever observed a single or double quark as a result of a collision in a particle accelerator, for example.

This process is also known as 'quantum jitters' because of the frenzied activity as particles emerge and vanish.

I see all three current posters have three negative votes each. Some people seem to have trouble understanding the world around them.
