Re: Does somebody know what Vacuum is ?

mathematical idealization

when we mathematical model the scenario of an object
moving we try to model things as simply as possible,
so we consider a scenario where there is no impediment
to its motion that would be a perfect vacuum.
But in practice there is less that perfect.
So the Platonic realm of idealization gives way
to physical reality by concessions.

But in practice there are many claims that perfect
vacuum energy has a physical relevance:
in Vacuum polarization, in Casimir effect,
in the cosmological constant, Lamb shift,
electron magnetic momentum anomaly.

Is perfect vacuum only a ‘mathematical idealization’ ?
