During the study of the response of switched particle detectors to static negative energy densities and negative energy fluxes it was demonstrated how the switching leads to excitation even in the vacuum and how negative energy can lead to a suppression of this excitation which is similar to macro gravity in a large electric field. Quantum inequalities on the detection are similar to those obtained for the macro universe cosmological constant. “Is there a quantum equivalence principle?” We need to address the issue of why there is negative energy detection in Idaho. Idaho may hold the key to uniting the quantum with the universe at large.
But why is Idaho the only concentration of negative energy on Earth?
