Keith & all,
Very interesting but it will take some time for this block-head to absorb the details.
I was hoping you would screed-out the summarized version for us. One reason this is
interesting is in the current context of ongoing threads on vortex and particularly
this little mini-essay below.
I now suspect that there is a "second order" Casimir, just waiting to be discovered by
the mainstream, but already becoming evident to the insiders on Vo !
This self-similar force (similar in different to both the weak and Casimir) would
operate in that present "open space" between the weak force and the present Casimir.
F. Grimer has a different way of expressing this using a more concrete hierarchy <G>
but so does Ken Shoulders:
Short-Range Electron Attractive Force
by Ken Shoulders
Statement of Action:
There is an attractive force found between closely spaced, free electrons instead of
the universally touted repulsion force. This attractive force is effective only at
dimensions in the order of atomic spacing, being in the range of 10-10 meters, leaving
older repulsion laws intact for large spacing. When this force binds two or more
electrons, their expressed field at a distance is reduced. This is a newfound property
of this otherwise well-known particle. Ref: " Explosive Electron Emission" by G. A.
Mesyats, ISBN-7691-0881-5, 1998, URO-PRESS, Yekateringburg.
The Effect:
As shown by many writings of the author, as well as G. A. Mesyats in Russia, electrons
easily cluster into complex structures having unique properties not available to
single electrons. These electron clusters have been named EVs or EVOs by Shoulders in
various papers available for download from: http://www.svn.net/krscfs/, and Ectons by
Mesyats. There are several theories for their existence mentioned in associated
literature references but a complete description is still lacking.
Whatever the effect is that fosters this electron clustering action, it behaves like
an unseen substance that enshrouds electron groups, partly masking their charge. It is
a short-range force resembling a positive charge negating the effect of repulsive
electronic charge and can further be defined as a near-field effect that seems to be
an innate property of the electron occurring at the time of its creation. This local
action is reminiscent of the induction field in electromagnetic theory. This
attractive force is a property of the individual electron and not a large group
effect, as it extends down in size to electron pairs as is seen in the electron
accretion method of forming EVOs, described early on by Shoulders in an issued patent
and the references cited above.
Non Discovery Sequence:
All references cited above show accumulated evidence for the existence of EVOs in
various sizes and forms. Seeing the large total of accumulated evidence over such a
long period of time brings up the question of how finding it was passed over for so
long. A citation on how this likely happened is given below.

When the electron clustering effect was first found by the author, its mention to all
others was treated as scientific sacrilege as the message from the fakir was still
echoing through the halls after these many years. The message here is: Believe what
your senses tell you and not what others say. What I see is that the like charge
between electrons more often attracts than repels -- whenever the spacing between them
is small.
