Proof is a word that shouldn't be used lightly. I don't think anyone would see this as proof that quantum foam doesn't exist. The laws of physics allow for quantum foam to happen, which may lead us to start looking very differently at the s

That seems like it might be driven more by a lack of supply than a lack of demand. Why not have Spotify on all the time?
