Mikolaj will share new experimental results suggesting that specific magnetic field geometries may enable momentum transfer to and from the vacuum. Across beam balance, torsion beam, and pendulum timing tests, a reproducible force of roughly 200 µN has been observed in static, non-uniform magnetic field configurations, with consistent results across multiple rotations and setups. While the findings may point to a real effect, the speaker remains cautious and skeptical, framing the work in the context of recent quantum vacuum experiments that hint virtual particles may be able to carry momentum.
