Francis: I really think a better way to think about Relativistic Cavities is to think of the time-axis shrinking, relative to the also reduced size of they particle within the cavity. Shrinking the time axis, has the effect of accelerating the velocity of travel along that axis, ie the passage of time. This approach explains precisely how the H2 molecule "spends so much time there relative to us and spends so little time there from an external perspective.

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.
