The Classical Vacuum.
Boyer, Timothy H.
Scientific American, v253 n2 p70-78 Aug 1985
The classical vacuum of physics is not empty, but contains a distinctive pattern of electromagnetic fields. Discovery of the vacuum, thermal spectrum, classical electron theory, zero-point spectrum, and effects of acceleration are discussed. Connection between thermal radiation and the classical vacuum reveals unexpected unity in the laws of physics. (DH)
