ABSTRACT: The
vacuum electromagnetic field has been a mystery ever since Hedrik Casimir [1]

proposed in 1948 that it actually existed and could
be measured. Many subsequent experiments [2]

have confirmed that its vast field strength
(over a terawatt/cm2) is real and matches quantum predictions.
Radiation pressures as high as 18 psi have been measured from the reflected
vacuum light between plates of 10 nanometer separation. All of this creates a
mystery. The electromagnetic field strength is more than a terawatt/cm2 everywhere in the universe and yet nothing is melted, ionized or burned up by
the field. This paper extracts new insight from Einstein’s famous 1917 paper,
credited with the discovery of stimulated emission and still believed today.
The result is a practical explanation of the vacuum field and its observed properties.
