This paper intimates that it might be possible to modify or modulate the van der Waals interaction by spatially coherent laser radiation Milonni, Peter Wand Karl Svozil, "impossibility of measuring faster-than- c signaling by the Scharnhorst effect" Physics Letters 8248, 437-438 (1990). Calculates that quantum uncertainties in turning on an electromagnetic signal will create errors in timing larger than the time difference created by the signal propagating 'Yaster-thanlight." It is not that Scharnhorst is wrong, it is just that a simple propagation time measurement will not lead to a violation of causality because of basic quantum uncertainties Milton, Kimball A, Lester L. DeRaad, Jr, and Julian Schwinger, "Casimir Self-Stress on a Perfectly Conducting Spherical Shell" Annals Physics 115, 388403 (1978). Recalculates the repulsive stress on a sphere to higher accuracy Mostepanenko, V.M. and N.N. Trunov. "The Casimir effect and its applications, Soviet PXhysics Usp. 31, 965-987 (1988) [Usp. Fit. Nauk 156, 385-426 (1998), in Russian. General review paper of the Casimir effect. Authors make the point on page 980 that the Casim forceexperiments shows the physical reality of the fluctuations of the electromagnetic fields in the vacuum, while the Lamb-Retherford experiments show the physical reality of the fluctuations of the virtual particles (positron-electron pairs) in the vacuum Onofrio, Roberto and Giovannl Carugno,"Detecting Casimir forces using a tunneling electromechanical transducer, Physics Letters A. 365-370 (1995). Authors mention on page 369 that the gravity force of the Casimir disks are larger than the Casimir forces) Puthoff, HE, "Gravity as a zero-point-fluctuation force" Physical Review A, 2333-2342 (1989). One of the two papers that started this study effort. Takes an idea by Sakharov and puts some mathematical flesh on it. The major problem with the paper is the assumption that ALL matter is made up of charged point-mass particles, such as electrons and quarks. This is nearly true, but electromagnetic fields and gluons do contribute to the gravity of an object, but they are not made of charged point-mass particles) Rueda, A, "Model of Einstein and Hopf for Protons in Zero-Point Field and Cosmic-Ray Spectrum" II Nuovo Cimento A, 155-183 (1978). It is proposed that the acceleration of cosmic-ray protons is caused by the zero- point electromagnetic fluctuations of the vacuum Rueda, Alfonso, Bernhard Haisch, and Daniel C. Cole, "Vacuum zero- point field pressure instability in astrophysical plasmas and the formation of cosmic voids" Astrophysical J. 445, 7-16 (1995). Amplifies what is said in Rueda (1978), Boyer (1979) and Cole (1995). The fluctuations of the vacuum in empty space will accelerate charged particles in regions of space of low |
