are somehow gravitationally neutral or that their Gravitational attraction "wears out" as we consider ever-smaller sizes. I have heard that "around" the size where the em wavelengths are strong enough to explain the Strong Nuclear Force, is "about" where a runaway inflation of the Universe is no longer a concern.[/snip] Scott, Papers by Christian Beck and Michael Mackey "Measureability of vacuum fluctuations and dark energy <http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0605418> " and "Electromagnetic dark energy <http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0703364> " propose virtual photons with frequency less than 2 THz are more gravitationally active than those above. Their claims are presently only theoretical awaiting experimental evidence to prove slower virtual photons are more gravitationally active. [Abstract] from Electromagnetic Dark Energy "We introduce a new model for dark energy in the universe in which a small cosmological constant is generated by ordinary electromagnetic vacuum energy. The corresponding virtual photons exist at all frequencies but switch from a gravitationally active phase at low frequencies to a gravitationally inactive phase at higher frequencies via a Ginzburg-Landau type of phase transition. Only virtual photons in the gravitationally active state contribute to the cosmological constant. A small vacuum energy density, consistent with astronomical observations, is naturally generated in this model. We propose possible laboratory tests for such a scenario based on phase synchronisation in superconductors. [/abstract] My posit, derived from Naudt's suggestion of the hydrino as relativistic hydrogen, is that energy density only changes from a relativistic perspective and that a local observer at the bottom of a huge gravitational well or in a supression zone created by Casimir geometry will always perceive the local energy density as unchanged, unaware of any changes in energy density or t' or C. Yes the gravitational attraction will APPEAR to wear out but my point is that this appearance is due to a relativistic perspective and that it is due to the ratio of t to t'. Regards Fran
