If there is 'nothing' in a vacuum chamber then why doesn't it collapse onto itself?
Assuming that outside the vacuum chamber there is some gas or liquid, then indeed there is a force that pushes on the walls to collapse. If it doesn't collapse, that means the walls are strong enough to withstand that force: weak walls would collapse.
Why do scientists think that the Quantum Vacuum Collapse would only take seconds to destroy the universe?
They don't. If such a vacuum collapse is even possible - which is not at all sure - the collapse could randomly start somewhere, and then expand either at the speed of light, or at a speed close to the speed of light.
How does a Kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner work?
A Kenmore progressive vacuum cleaner is an up-to-date vacuum that is intelligent and easy to use. The vacuum has a feature called "inteliClean" that detects how much dirt is being removed from the floor or carpet.
What is the temperature inside of a vacuum?
In a vacuum temperature is inapplicable. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules that fill a defined space. In a vacuum there are no molecules so --- no temperature.
What do physicists mean by vacuum?
In Latin the word vacuum means empty space. It is a space from which most or all of the matter has been removed, or where there is little or no matter
What happens when all the air is pumped out of a sealed in can?
The can looks like as if it has been crushed.
How you know gas is inside the balloon?
If there were nothing inside the balloon - a vacuum - the balloon would quickly collapse due to the pressure of the atmosphere outside it. A firmer structure might resist the air pressure, but not a balloon.

What causes the vacuum hose to collapse while engine is running?
The pressure inside the vacuum hose is lower than the pressure outside the hose. If the hose is old and weakened, it'll fold up on itself. If the pressure difference is bigger than the hose is expected to be able to deal with(by some other reason) the hose will collapse too. If someone has replaced a real vacuum hose with, say a fuel hose, that too can be a reason.
Why the double-glazing window should not have a vacuum between the sheets of glass?
because vacuum will make the glass collapse

Why collapse 1 gallon metal can with vacuum pump?
To demonstrate atmospheric pressure.
Why does moisture need to be removed before an organism can be viewed with an electron microscope?
Liquids and gases expand inside a vacuum, so the organism's shape would be destroyed..
How can a gas be removed from a planet?
by a vacuum cleaner
What is the difference between a vacuum and an implosion?
An absolute vacuum is purely theoretical, and is an utter absence of matter. An implosion is essentially a violent inward collapse.
In a vacuum there's no what?
A vacuum is an empty space with nothing inside it.
Why would your pool line that goes into your filter collapse when you try to vacuum?
Something blocking it
