论文摘要
浸入其中的量子真空和浸入其中的物质通过电磁，强和弱的相互作用相互作用。但是，我们对量子真空的重力特性的了解为零。为了说明量子真空的可能基本引力影响，我们研究了浸入点状体的重力场。在工作假设下完成的是，量子真空波动是虚拟引力偶极子（即两个相同幅度但相反符号的重力电荷）；顺便说一句，该假设使量子真空摆脱了宇宙恒定问题。主要的结果是，点状的身体在自身周围产生了极化量子真空的光环，这是重力的附加来源。有一个最大的g_qvmax，即引力加速度，可能是由极化量子真空引起的。如此大小的小尺寸是为什么在某些情况下（例如在太阳系中）可以忽略量子真空的原因。在CERN和即将举行的天文观察中进行的先进实验将揭示这是否是真的，但是我们指出，已经存在的经验证据似乎支持这种迷人的可能性。
Quantum vacuum and matter immersed in it interact through electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions. However, we have zero knowledge of the gravitational properties of the quantum vacuum. As an illustration of possible fundamental gravitational impact of the quantum vacuum, we study the gravitational field of an immersed point-like body. It is done under the working hypothesis, that quantum vacuum fluctuations are virtual gravitational dipoles (i.e. two gravitational charges of the same magnitude but opposite sign); by the way, this hypothesis makes quantum vacuum free of the cosmological constant problem. The major result is that a point-like body creates a halo of the polarized quantum vacuum around itself, which acts as an additional source of gravity. There is a maximal magnitude g_qvmax, of the gravitational acceleration that can be caused by the polarized quantum vacuum; the small size of this magnitude is the reason why in some cases (for instance within the Solar System) the quantum vacuum can be neglected. Advanced experiments at CERN and forthcoming astronomical observations will reveal if this is true or not, but we point to already existing empirical evidence that seemingly supports this fascinating possibility.
