It is well-known that atoms can change their shape when subject to external electromagnetic fields. Analogous phenomenon is expected for particles, which are much smaller in size with the corresponding shape change much harder to observe.…
It is commonly agreed that the electromagnetic vacuum is not empty but filled with virtual photons. This leads to effects like Lamb shift and spontaneous emission. Here we argue that if the vacuum has virtual photons it might mean that it…
