Jones, the Reifenschweiler effect would represent a downshift - there are also claims that reflect an up shift where the radioactive decay rate is accelerated. This fits more my posit of "segregation" due to Casimir suppression where the lower density inside a Casimir boundary is balanced by an increased density spread over the outer surface of the plates. This would also explain why suppression can accomplish dilation so cheaply compared to spatial acceleration because it is a balanced effect. The Reifenschweiler effect would apply to gas atom with an affinity to migrate into the "sails" of the outer plates while claims of accelerated delay would apply to gas populations with an affinity to migrate into the cavity -probably just physical properties like charge and size that effect the average migration path.I think the cavity will always be more concentrated and the acceleration claims far more prounounced than claims of delay because the outer plates represent a large very shallow reservoir while the cavity and transition between represent a more concentrated fast moving stream.

If ZPE radiation is being upshifted in a cavity then the Reifenschweiler effect would more likely be an increase in the decay rate, not a decrease. This is because the nucleus would be over-stimulated in the sense of the induced gamma effect, and it would decay faster, not slower. If seems more likely that radiation is being neither upshifted or downshifted, at least in the Reifenschweiler effect. Unlike many observers, I see the decay rate of the tritium in the Casimir cavity (from the perspective of the tritium itself) as NOT changing ! ...but instead some of the beta decay is being ported into a ZPE "sink" instead, so it only appears to us, outside the cavity ,that the decay rate it is slower than it was. IOW some of the radiation goes into Dirac 'reciprocal space' or a correlate, and we simply do not see it in 3-space, but from the standpoint of the rate itself and the tritium itself - nothing has changed. This can explain the Rossi heating effect when you substitute IRH (inverted Rydberg hydrogen) for tritium. More on that later. Jones From: Roarty, Francis X Robin, I had the same original "displacement" concept until recently and I think it is roughly equivalent to the "up shifted" term Scott and Thomas introduced me to. The issue with the "displacement" concept is it carries with it an image of a vacant portion of space where the displaced wavelength used to reside. While my relativistic theory doesn't exactly match either concept the "up shifted" concept Thomas Prevenslik first introduced me to comes from a thermal dynamic perspective of Casimir effect - I used to consider this the "other" camp for Casimir theory vs. the "displacement" camp that I was more comfortable with - Thomas comes at this from a perspective of thermal dynamics and will argue the plates are not "pushed" together and that ether doesn't need to exist to explain the effect, he explains the effect as an imbalance created by "up shifting" causing the plates to self attract. Although my "relativistic" concept now represents a new 3rd option/camp I chose to refer to the "up shifting" version as the alternative because it already deals with what I consider a misconception of there being a "vacancy" - the energy summation is still reduced because energy content reduces with wavelength until some cutoff frequency beyond which it is meaningless to integrate, therefore an up shifted spectrum will also sum to a lower energy total. For a while I just went with the idea that the vacancy got filled in with shorter wavelengths but the "up shifted" concept already handles that issue plus it is an easier transition to the "relativistic" concept because it already has the same remote perspective of faster wavelengths inside the cavity... the only thing it lacked was my position that the wavelengths would appear unchanged to a local observer in the cavity... which as I have said previously is more in keeping with the changes in energy density, anomalous increases in C transition time thru the cavity as measured externally and Claims of variation of radioactive decay rates.

As I understand it, they are not normally upshifted. They are excluded altogether, because they are too long to fit in the cavity. It's precisely because they are excluded that they press on the outside, but not on the inside walls of the cavity, hence producing a pressure that pushes the walls together. Only the wavelengths greater than the cavity dimensions are responsible for this, and since these represent but a minute fraction of the total, the force is very small, until the walls get very close together. That's because as they approach one another, the excluded wavelengths get shorter and shorter, representing an ever increasing amount of vacuum energy.
