Inquiring electromagnetic quantum fluctuations about the orientability of space

Abstract Orientability is an important global topological property of spacetime manifolds. It is often assumed that a test for spatial orientability requires a global journey across the whole 3-space to check for orientation-reversing paths. Since such a global expedition is not feasible, theoretica...
