Magnetar May Prove Quantum Vacuum PredictionAstronomers observed magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 and found evidence of vacuum birefringence, a quantum effect predicted by Heisenberg and Euler in the 1930s. The star's magnetic field, over a trillion times stronger than Earth's, appears to polarize light in empty space. Experts caution the interpretation depends on the proposed magnetar geometry.
