Casimir Force: The irrelevant explanation of EVOs for the wrong reasons

Remember, macro-quantum vacuum coherence hides random micro-quantum zero
point vacuum energy under the rug. Any random zero point energy that
leaks out is exotic vacuum that contributes to the cosmological constant
either as dark energy or dark matter depending on the sign of the
pressure negative or positive respectively. Dark energy at a distance is
a universal repulsive antigravity field. Dark matter at a distance is a
universal attractive gravity field. Both fields can be stronger than
what is expected from Newton’s constant. That is the effective Planck
energy is smaller than 1019Gev. However, as possibly in the case of Ken
Shoulders “charge clusters” the effective forces inside an extended
exotic vacuum region can change sign! Indeed, that is why the EVO is
stable and that is also why the single electron is stable.
Alexander Burinskii in Moscow has rightly raised the issue of the
distinction between renormalization and regularization of interacting
field Feynman diagrams in special relativistic quantum field
perturbation theory expansions in relation to the zero point energy
problem. We need to see how all these ideas survive in quantum field
theory in a c-number curved space dynamical background like in Birrell
and Davies text book "Quantum Fields in Curved Space". The issue of the
reality of quantum gravity foam of Einstein metric field Heisenberg
uncertainty fluctuations is problematical in the soft condensed matter
physics approach to gravity as a bottom-up emergent ODLRO macro-quantum
phenomenon. That is gravity is a low energy effective c-number ODLRO
macro-quantum coherent field theory that in principle is not to be
quantized in the usual way the way QED is done. This feature is now
being tested in gamma ray astronomy.
Why do Milonni's two naive free virtual photon field models of the
Casimir force ~ hcA/d4 as virtual photon effects give, like Ptolemy’s
epicycles, closed to the correct empirical answer for the wrong reasons?
In the simple boundary condition model using only free virtual photons
Milonni computes
E(d) - E(infinity)
and he gets the cutoff-independent correct answer.
However, what he should compute is
E(d) + E(L - d)
Letting L >> d at the end.
The virtual photon ZPF force is then the negative gradient of this sum.
This vanishes in 1 + 1 space-time.
The cosmological constant problem is that E(d) + E(L - d) is directly
observable in general relativity. This is why Hal's "Type II Casimir
Force" model is unacceptable because it requires a huge cosmological
constant vacuum energy filling all space outside Ken Shoulders
EVOs which have zero ZPE inside their charged shells at least below h/mc
short wave cutoff. This contradicts general relativity that is the
covering theory here. Any result from unstable globally flat quantum
field theory that contradicts general relativity must be rejected. That
is the basic problem with what Hal Puthoff is suggesting for metric
engineering of warp, wormhole and weapon. Puthoff’s PV version of
gravity is not consistent with Einstein’s general relativity as shown by
his own assistant Michael Ibison. Lest, there be any confusion, I am not
suggesting that the direct warping of space-time by zero point energy
density is the explanation of the Casimir force. Indeed, the Casimir
force as a direct electrostatic force of mutually induced dipoles in the
uncharged conductors is observable only in the absenceof such strong
zero point warping of space-time. I am suggesting that Ken Shoulders
EVOs have such strong warping and have nothing to do with the Casimir
force at all in the dominating approximation. Therefore, as Ian
Peterson says, the Casimir force is not a way to tap the zero point
vacuum energy of the virtual photons as the popular literature
suggests. The only energy you can recover from the Casimir force is the
weak mutually induced dipole electrostatic energies. Using the Casimir
force as a pedagogical tool for zero point energy physics is profoundly
misleading.
