another lift...
According to the theory the total zero point energy in the vacuum is infinite when summed over all the possible photon modes. The Casimir effect comes from a difference of energies in which the infinities cancel. The energy of the vacuum is a puzzle in theories of quantum gravity since it should act gravitationally and produce a large cosmological constant which would cause space-time to curl up. The solution to the inconsistency is expected to be found in a theory of quantum gravity.
end of lift.... (cut and paste but lift is short and I love to be brief)
What is he saying for goodness sake??
I say this... the effect is simple to explain in the context of an aether, a flow, a universal pressure.... it is no big deal really...the push of energy"if you like that term..or the push of particles explains it nicely.
two sticks floating in a fast flowing stream ..when they come together the flow of the stream hold them in place together... they can be separated but staying together is what the flow of the water will cause them to do... space is a flow ..a flow of everything ..just because we cant measure it yet does not detract from the logic... and so anything real close is pushed together ... it is so simple in principle...in my universe that is
but we see that things attract..they do not ..they are pushed together by their proximity and mutual shielding effect one upon the other...or so I believe.
