If you assume that this density changes by a small percentage in the cavity, then there should be an equivalent small change in the radius. Far too small IMO to explain anything [snip] I think the density is changing much more than anyone realizes. What Puthoff refers to as "pressure" drops to nothing as vacuum fluctuations pour through this depletion area in a relativistic manner appearing to get shorter in wavelength. The plate geometry has an equal an opposite "pressure" like giant sails that accumulate this pressure while the cavity represents a small tear that lets the increased pressure create a venturi..the "wind speed" if you will can exceed the nominal value of open space, and the hole is not big enough to exhaust the accumulated pressure- effectively creating a permanent abrupt "gravity hill" vs the more familiar slow gradient of a gravity well. Since we are talking relativistic time dilation here the radius is not affected locally at all -time is what changes and with it obviously anything based on time like gravity. Regards Fran >From my blog: The application of Naudts relativistic proposal to the Casimir effect is often met with skepticism, At the macro scale time dilation requires velocities at high fractions of C or crushing gravitational wells that provide equivalent acceleration of similar effect. These effects are concentrating our interaction with virtual particles. We also know linear luminal velocity would be impossible to attain in a Casimir cavity so I have assumed equivalent deceleration vs equivalent acceleration. It is the differences in vacuum energy suppression inside the cavity vs outside that we are trying to use atomic hydrogen to exploit. The energy is considered negative but we are only concerned with the absolute differential value. >From the Puthoff atomic model I conjecture an energy "pressure" that keeps an orbital in a balanced ground state -hence "my river of time"/virtual particles pressing past our nuclei and growing larger as they flash past our electrons in the final scene of my animation <http://www.byzipp.com/scenic.swf> . I want to springboard from this concept to an XY axis of velocity vs. time where as v approaches C an animated spacecraft slows it's progress along the x axis and starts to rise and contract on the y axis - all with the virtual particle background from above animation playing at 20% alpha illumination to make the point the ships velocity relative to the moving field has a Pythagorean component that becomes more pronounced as matter starts to reach velocities of similar magnitude to the virtual particles. I hesitate to say these virtual particles have a luminal velocity since their "rate" may well establish the relativistic values upon which we measure "time". that said these virtual particles still must obey certain rules and not occupy already existing space causing a "pressure" differential that agrees with Puthoff's atomic model, I believe this "pressure" causes a vortex around and behind the nucleus (from a 4D perspective) that restores the orbital energy after spontaneous emission and keeps a balanced ground state. This "standard" pressure of time passing from future to past through matter is what I believe Casimir cavities are able to "segregate". It is not just like a tiny cavity of dead air like you imagine with insulation materials. I believe the plate geometry of conductors concentrate a resistance to this flow like the canvas sails of a sailing ship where a small hole (cavity) creates a relief where the concentrated wind pressure forms a venturi where the speed and pressure is far removed from the nominal wind speed. It is this difference between the nominal value of time and the venturi induced values inside the cavity that we can exploit with atomic hydrogen. In the same paradox manner that accelerating matter in 3D space slows time from our perspective, accelerating the flow of virtual particles through a cavity accelerates time from our perspective and lowers the energy "pressure" inside the cavity. The difference between our inertial frame energy and these decelerated frames inside the cavity is often referred to as negative energy, It suggests a gravity hill as opposed to the deep gravity well in the twin paradox where the space faring twin can park on a high G object to accumulate time dilation, instead the shielded (decelerated) cavity equates to the earthbound twin and hydrogen outside the cavity equates to the "high G" twin. One should not focus on the difference between planetary gravity vs free space which would NOT account for the effect, rather we consider the "nominal rate" at which virtual particles pass through 3D space which is amplified by this "venturi like" property of a Casimir cavity.
