Casimir force: The Quantum Around You. Ep 6

In this latest episode, Andrea Morello talks about a phenomenon known as the Casimir force. Ancient sailors knew that ships in a rough sea should not be placed alongside each other, or a "mysterious force" will make them smash together. A similar effect happens because of quantum waves, and can make small electrical switches stick together against our will.
