raptop: do you think physics will ever evolve to the point where they know what would change about the fundamental forces if we moved into the lowest energy quantum vacuum state?
<raptop>

Do you believe there will come some change that would provide evidence we are in the lowest energy state?

It's pretty difficult to imagine a way that could happen from where I'm standing, but it's not physically impossible
<SnoopJ>
I'd take a bet against it, at any rate
<raptop>
I'd expect if anything results from cosmology more than HEP would give firm evidence one way or the other
<SnoopJ>
Well yea, the sophons
