In neo Lorentzian Ether Theory the Ether intersects with space at what we 3D beings perceive as the constant C in all inertial frames. This rate of intersection is at 90 degrees to the spatial axis, has no directional bias and is "equivalent" to a relative motion of 300 million m/s perpendicular to, and passing through, the spatial plane which is reflected in the derivation of the Gamma formula http://www.vias.org/physics/bk6_01_03.html . When a Linear Accelerator drives a particle to significant fractions of C in a specific spatial direction the resulting vector of the particle is in a Pythagorean relationship between the spatial driving fields of the acceleration tube and the equivalent velocity of the Ether passing through our spatial plane. We know from the gamma formula that time dilation occurs even though local observers travelling with the particle or outside the accelerator are unaware that t' or angle relative to the Ether has changed. From Einstein's equivalence principle we know we can also have a stationary particle that experiences the same acceleration effects sitting still at the bottom of a very large gravity well. In a neo LET interpretation the gravity well is curving space away from being perpendicular to the Ether and the particle therefore experiences a lower intersection rate at the new angle - which it is unaware of since t' and time dilation are undetectable except through relative measure. The stationary particle does feel a gravitational attraction toward the bottom of the gravity well "equivalent" to the accelerating force the moving particle feels from the linear accelerator. Although a local observer would never see any change in vacuum energy density an observer outside the gravity well would conclude the total vacuum energy density has increased because t' is longer than t and as per the Twin Paradox time is slowed from our perspective. Although mainstream presently believe that Casimir effect causes vacuum energy wavelengths to be displaced by the narrow spacing between Casimir plates leading to a situation where only shorter wavelengths and a lower total energy density can exist between the plates, I am convinced they are wrong. The fact that C "appears" to increase when the transition time of a laser entering and exiting a cavity is measured and that radioactive gases are known to experience time dilation to their half lives when loaded into Casimir cavities leads me to believe that Casimir effect is actually relativistic. The shorter "appearing" wavelength are actually the same longer wavelengths that are squeezing in between the plates by curving space time. As Jan Naudts suggested the hydrino is actually relativistic hydrogen. Any gas atoms loaded between Casimir plates experience the lower energy density accomplished by the longer vacuum wavelengths curving space-time between the plates. The sudden changes in Casimir force with changes in geometry builds an environment where simple asymmetries in motion paths or chemistry can exploit the normally chaotic background of zero point energy. A recent example being the measurement of real photons from a rapidly moving mirror that displaced virtual particle pairs from each other. The hydrogen may not be moving back and forth spatially anywhere near luminal velocity but the "slew rate" between different "equivalent" accelerations with changes in Casimir force may qualify - A hydrogen atom deep inside a cavity would have a negative perspective where we outside the cavity appear to be deep down a gravity well and would see us as existing in "slow" time. This insight led me to ascribe a similar mechanism to Catalytic action where changes in atomic geometries cause reactions to accelerate by pushing and pulling reactants between different energy densities -note I did not say it is all time dilation but rather a combination of both dilation and rapid changes in equivalent accelerations.
