Yes, we're clear on that. I was responding to Chris suggesting that maybe there's some nuclear interactions at work in lighning (which I am open minded about but sceptical), and he mentioned sonoluminesence, which I believe has a rather more established explanation (ie it isn't fusion or anything weird)
Hey Andy,
I didn't mean to imply that. I thought you were saying that you didn't think a vacuum could be created without a chemical reaction. I was saying that I think a bubble of vacuum can be created in a medium using purely physical forces like in sonoluminescence.
Best,
Chris.
