Reply to comment by [deleted] in How does an ideal vacuum have a dielectric breakdown voltage of 10^12 MV/m? If there is nothing there, then how can electricity pass through it? by skovalen
c=1/√(ε0μ0) shows the speed of light is related to the electric and magnetic field spontaneously generated by photons in a vacuum. I've probably mixed relativity with quantum theory there though...

Yes. I didn’t want to get into “there is no such thing as a vacuum” because of quantum. While true it probably doesn’t affect dielectric constants.
