The above is an article I co-wrote with the concept of the quantum vacuum
*as* as system of quantum objects. I just don't see how empty space could
have any concept of "system" or any particular geometry without quantum
objects defining spacetime.

Charge has to be purely mechanical even if it is quantum *mechanical*. This
is only possible if the quantum vacuum is a relativistic medium of coupled
oscillators. IOW, all there really is is fermions - real, virtual, and
"less than virtual". Gauge bosons are always composites of these virtual
and "less than virtual" fermions. The coupling is via magnetic-like links.

I will take a look at your book and study this, but I think also a medium
theory can handle this.

Well, electron A has a "static" couloumb field associated with it, so if hit
by a high energy photon, it ought to do something to B also. You claim that
the electron at B would instantaneously "know" that electron A got hit. I
say that it wouldn't know until the time it took for light to travel one
centimeter.

Well, that's what also Einstone thought, until he discovered
he wronger than a photon waiting for a train at a New York Disco.
Since electron's don't have Couloumb forces.
Thermodynamics has Couloumb forces.

Light goes much faster than that in QM. Since the electrons
on Mercury "knew" what was coming 8 minutes
*before* *Einstone* hit them.
