FPP = Casimir Force (N) h = Plancks Constant c = Speed of light in a vacuum APP = Parallel-Plate Area (m2) r = Parallel-Plate Separation (m)

It is an attractive force between two parallel, neutrally charged, reflective metal plates. It is a force produced by a pressure imbalance originating from the Zero-Point-Field (ZPF). It was derived based upon an infinitely large plate area at a temperature of 0K (i.e. approximately the ambient Cosmological temperature); therefore, the CF as derived represents an average Cosmological quantity.

What is The PV Model of Gravity?


1. 2. The PV Model of Gravity is an optical analogue to General Relativity (GR). It regards gravitational micro-lensing to be the consequence of changes in energy density in the gravitational acceleration field surrounding matter. It explains why gravitational acceleration works the way it does; GR only describes how the why is executed.

3.

The grid of GR (above) is replaced by a lens in the PV Model of Gravity (right).

What is Electro-Gravi-Magnetics (EGM)?


1. 2. 3.

It is a natural progression from the PV Model of Gravity. It pertains to the equilibration between matter & the space-time surrounding it. It functions as a methodology bridging the ElectroMagnetic & Gravitational gap.

The ZPF cannot contain infinite energy in flat space-time


dgE

The ZPF cannot contain infinite energy in flat space-time

Lets look at an example of what happens to the spectral limits of the gravitational acceleration field, in terms of Quantum Mechanics (QM) & ZPF theory; in the case of a solitary neutrally charged, nonrotating point mass at rest, occupying an otherwise empty & flat Universe, as the distance from the point mass increases, the value of the Refractive Index approaches unity KPV(r,M) 1 (i.e. by definition, see Puthoff et. al.) Thus, PV(1,r,M) 0 as r , according to:
lim ( 1, r , M ) - PV r
3 1 . 2 .c .G.M . lim lim K PV - K + r .r r PV 1

simplifies to

PV( 1 , , M ) 0 .( Hz)

Consequently, as PV(1,r,M) 0, (r,M) 0 according to:

( , M) n ( , M) . PV 1, , M) 0.( Hz) (

Therefore, the Spectral Energy Density 0() of flat space-time (i.e. when r ) approaches zero, & the Cosmological problem of infinite energy is avoided; hence, a vanishing volume at r = contains no ZPF energy! Next Step

So What?
Application of the Electro-Gravi-Magnetic (EGM) Photon radiation method to the Casimir Effect (CE), suggests that the experimentally verified (terrestrially) neutrally charged Parallel-Plate configuration force, may differ within extraterrestrial gravitational environments from the gravitationally independent formulation by Casimir. Consequently, the derivation presented herein implies that a gravitationally dependent CE may become an important design factor in nanotechnology for extraterrestrial applications (ignoring finite conductivity + temperature effects and evading the requirement for Casimir Force corrections due to surface roughness).
