Not sure about you folks, but I get people occasionally trying to explain some new zero point energy whatever to me.
Wow
Its gotten to the point where I just ask them what zero point energy is, when they inevitably answer wrong, I tend to ask them about what they know about quantum systems. Works like a charm every time.
Unfortunately the last cat to ask about this kinda thing thought he was pretty slick to include the Casimir effect in the whole show. So naturally I asked him what the Casimir effect was.
In the end I typically get asked to go "look it up" and see for myself. "oh I did" is usually my answer.
Anyway latest conversation was with a friend who's typically got some new gimmick about once a week. I think he's starting to get mad at me
