Jones Beene mentioned a 4th point on Tue, 19 Oct 2010 15:25 [snip] 4) Small packets of energy released over time then accumulate to tens of MeV equivalent levels, causing a local energy depleted region, which is effectively extremely "cold" (far below absolute zero) [/snip]
I think this "negative temperature" supports my application of Naudts relativistic hydrogen Theory to the Casimir effect. The Casimir cavity or related catalyst is needed to create relativistic Hydrogen without the need for high velocity. The temperature just like gravity is based on time and a relativistic perspective says the longer wavelength vacuum flux are still present inside the Casimir cavity -unchanged to a tiny observer inside the cavity but appearing shorter in wavelength to an observer or a hydrogen atom outside the cavity. The acceleration is equivalent so there is no Pythagorean relationship between C and velocity on the spatial axis, instead the energy density is changed due to suppression - instead of compression (decelerates rate) at the bottom of a gravity well where energy density is increased the cavity suppresses (accelerates rate) where the energy density is decreased. Put in terms of the Twin paradox it is we the observers outside the cavity that are accelerating away relative to the lower energy density field inside the cavity. When a hydrogen atom "returns" from a Casimir cavity to an observer outside the cavity it is equivalent to the earth bound twin taking a spacship to go visit the spatially accelerated twin - From the perspective of the spatially accelerated twin his brother aged rapidly on earth and from the perspective of hydrogen outside the cavity the hydrogen returning from the cavity has also aged rapidly (catalyzed?). Likewise temperasture and gravity measured from our perspective (time units) will also appear reduced relative to inside the cavity -so yes as Jones points out if we are near absolute zero outside the cavity then the temperature inside the cavity can be far below absolute zero and energy can be negative.
