The primary objection to such a radical explanation for Casimir effect and
catalytic action is that the equation for Casimir force at MINIMAL cavity
width provides results which are insufficient to explain the large time
dilations I am positing for the time period the hydrogen atoms remain inside
this geometry. The concept of MINIMAL cavity width is based on our 3D
perspective outside the cavity which my theory attempts to circumvent. I am
positing that the 3D perspective inside the cavity is changed by vacuum
energy suppression that results in a Lorentzian translation between space
and time. The mini hydrogen sees the walls of the cavity shrink but an
observer on the cavity wall would see the hydrogen shrink. This brings me to
crux of the issue which is how can the equivalent acceleration inside the
cavity be of such a large magnitude to achieve Lorentzian contraction and
sidestep the limits of MINIMAL width and plate proximity constraints imposed
by Liftshitz and others? A shortcut is needed that ignores the need for
spatial velocity and directly manipulates time. We know that both
acceleration and equivalent acceleration due to gravity can result in time
dilation. Therefore I assume a relationship between vacuum energy density
and time dilation.
First let me remind you that although Einstein's relativity
is more convenient, Lorentzian theory is equally valid, and a neo Lorentzian
theory of an ether that intersects our 3d spatial plane at 90 degrees to all
3 spatial axis provides a better model for my posit. Normal Lorentzian
contraction requires spatial velocity approaching luminal scale to become
visible along the axis of observation and displacement. These large
velocities are required because it is a Pythagorean relationship between the
rate of intersection of this ether axis with our 3d spatial axis. A vehicle
that approaches these velocities is no longer on the same 3d axis line as us
but rather a trigonometric angle between the two axis related to the
contraction. Equivalent acceleration does not require any velocity at all.
It can be considered an opposition to the intersection rate of the ether
axis (note I don't dare call this a velocity because this is normally a
nonphysical axis that only manifests itself for the briefest instant when
virtual particle pairs appear and disappear while intersecting our physical
axis). A nucleus will oppose this flow of virtual particles and results in
stretching our space to a different level on the time axis and creating a
tiny relativistic well into which the electron tries to follow but can
never catch up. This is equivalent to Puthoff's model of restoring energy
to an electron orbital in an inverse fashion - I am saying the virtual
particles are having their primary effect pushing harder against the
condensed mass of the nucleus and the electrons are in a permanent state of
catching up. This opposition of mass to the rate of intersection
accumulates to our macro scale as gravity and in the case of high gravity
planets or dead stars can accumulate time dilation quickly enough relative
to our scale to be observable in experiments. Normally inertial frames
reflect the slight differences to this opposition proportional to velocity
or equivalent acceleration provided by a large mass.( We are never aware of
time dilations in these different inertial frames because our physical world
is scaled and propelled by the intersection of these axis). In the case of
Casimir geometry and suppression we have something novel that cannot
possibly occur at the macro scale. The normal rate of opposition to the
ether axis by mass is amplified by Casimir geometry utilizing suppression
to create a SEGREGATION of the intersection rate. The large exterior plates
are able to very rapidly accumulate a reservoir of delayed - opposed
particles while the tiny cavity inside is able to create an inexhaustible
venturi of accelerated (negative opposition) particles which represent the
intersection rate of the ether with 3d inside the cavity. There is no
overall net gain or loss to the intersection rate as DiFiore et all
discovered in their experiments to measure change in gravitational forces
with stacked cavities. The large surface area of Casimir plates would
accumulate a shallow reservoir of somewhat higher energy density than would
be accumulated by normal mass but the tiny volume of space inside the
Casimir cavity would concentrate said reservoir into a MUCH lower energy
density venturi far below what we would consider the zero reference point.
This lead to the concept of negative energy density or what could be called
a gravitational "Hill". My analogy is the wind in a ships sail can be far
slower than the wind whistling through a small hole in the sail. If the hole
is small enough to never deplete the reservoir in the sail you have an
equivalent for Casimir plates and the cavity.
Note 2 things in the above paragraph regarding the primary objection to this
theory. One, that equivalent acceleration is obviously not proportional to
spatial velocity, and two, that unlike the normal accumulation of vacuum
energy density by mass demonstrated in a gravity well, the reduced energy
density of a Casimir cavity represents a gravity hill. It is my posit that
we are taking the normal intersection rate of this nonphysical axis and
segregating it into an amplified opposition on the plate surface and an
equivalent amount of "negative" opposition concentrated inside the cavity
(no net change only redistribution). That "negative" opposition or
acceleration is relative to a gravitational zero reference of open space. A
Casimir plate - cavity system allows us to DIRECTLY manipulate/segregate
this rate of intersection with our 3d spatial axis based on geometry and QM.
My point being that the quantum effect of the plate atoms in Casimir effect
not only causes an abrupt break in isotropy as proposed in "Cavity QED" but
that the resulting break is a segregation of energy densities allowing this
intersecting nonphysical axis to flow at different rates through different
zones while the net average remains unchanged. I think the seemingly
inconsistent claims of both half life acceleration and delays in radioactive
gases correctly reflects the interactions with these opposite energy
density zones and conforms to my model of shallow less notable increase in
density spread over the plate surfaces while inside the cavity you have
zones of GREATLY decreased energy density. Note the claims for half life
acceleration were of significant increases while the claims for observed
delay were far fewer and of much smaller magnitude. Different geometries of
catalyst and radioactive gas would effect the population distribution of the
gas exposed to plate surface vs cavities and would determine which gases
qualify and for which effect. Applying this theory to catalytic action is
supported by a Cornell paper published last year that notes catalytic action
only occurs at the openings and defects in a nano tube. I would submit that
a large scale theoretically perfect Casimir plate assembly would have little
catalytic action similar to a nano tube. Catalytic action appears to be
related to the CHANGE in Casimir force such as nature provides in a skeletal
catalyst or the packing geometry of bulk nano powders. In the relativistic
interpretation of catalytic action you have reactions that are accelerated
by areas of Casimir geometry in the catalyst causing time dilations that
trigger these reactions. In the most energetic catalysts the entire
reactants can be dilated inside a cavity but catalytic action also occurs
all the way down to at least the molecular level where only portions of an
atom or molecule may interact with the Casimir geometry geometry.
