THE QUANTUM VACUUM UNDER MODAL DISCIPLINE: a critical-propositional analysis of Extracting Energy from the Quantum Vacuum in dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity
Abstract
This article presents a critical-propositional analysis of Extracting Energy from the Quantum Vacuum (Borel Sigma; Raja Ram M.; Muskan S.; Kalinga S.; Vipul J., 2025), in dialogue with the Theory of Objectivity (TO). The study examines the quantum vacuum as described within Quantum Field Theory, especially through zero-point energy, vacuum fluctuations, virtual particles, vacuum polarization, the Casimir effect, the Lamb shift, the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, the Higgs mechanism, the cosmological constant problem, and the relations between vacuum, gravitation, and cosmology. The analysis argues that the quantum vacuum provides a highly relevant phenomenic and operational bridge with the Theory of Objectivity, insofar as it rejects the classical notion of the vacuum as absolute emptiness and presents it as an active, relational, energetic, and measurable physical structure. At the same time, the article emphasizes an essential modal distinction: the quantum vacuum is not equivalent to the Nothing of the Theory of Objectivity. In TO, Nothing is understood as a primitive and eternal mathematical essence, whereas the quantum vacuum already presupposes fields, states, operators, symmetries, spacetime, and formalized physical structures. The article further articulates the analyzed work with the modal axioms of TO, its phenomenic elements, the Expansive and Reductive Inducer Effects, the cosmogonic theorem, and the cosmological Eras of the Theory of Objectivity.…
