I'm familiar with the electron/hole theory in electronics as it applies to P and N semiconductor materials used in diodes and transistors... primary current carriers in N-type materials are electrons, primary current carriers in P-type materials are holes. .... but i can't quite marry your above statement about positrons being areas of space (holes) that are lacking electrons with the first discovery of the antielectron or positron in the cloud chamber. That was actually a *particle* that had the exact same mass as an electron, but moved in a curve that was just the *opposite* direction that an electron would have moved in the chamber's magnetic field. So the question arises, how would an electron-less area of space be able to leave the bubble track that is left by a positron when it is created in a cloud chamber? happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Our heads up in the sky, We're so clueless of our worth...

Hi Panius and Sally Since the Casmir plates show space in not a
void,than how can we use the term out of "nothing" The space song should be "I've got plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me" Sounds like a Gershwin song to me. Bert |
