I am less concerned about the perceived "wrongness" of the FZ geometry.... The
oversized radius that Jones points out may be based on a difference in
semantics since FZ refuses to consider a 4d model. These conflicting
perceptions will occur if the environment is actually relativistic. Again it is
my belief in the Naudts concept of relativistic hydrogen that leads me to a
modified interpretation of Casimir effect based on a nano form of equivalent
acceleration. I have gotten myself wrapped around this same axle when trying to
explain a 4d effect in 3d terms BUT what intrigues me is this "elastic limit of
space" and if it relates to the number of steps for fractional hydrogen or to
the limits cited by Lifshitz regarding the dissipation of Casimir force as a
gas atom approaches contact with a Casimir plate. Recall that time appears to
slow and objects appear to shrink from both perspectives when discussing 2
observers in 2 different inertial frames while locally neither is actually
changing. My posit is that the outside of a Casimir cavity accumulates
equivalent acceleration much faster than normal matter which then dissipates
and averages out by the normal square law BUT where the mouth of the cavity
occurs is able to dissipate the equivalent acceleration accumulated by the
plates MUCH faster like the wind spilling through a small hole in a sail...
just as the wind speed through the hole can become many times faster than
ambient wind speed, the energy density in between the plates can become much
lower than the ambient energy density outside the plates - Even lower than the
zero reference of open space such that we would call this a negative
acceleration, a stationary inertial frame would appear to be accelerating away
(at least equivalently) from any material occupying the inertial frame inside a
Casimir cavity - becoming equateable to the high speed Twin in the Twin paradox
while the hydrogen in the cavity (from it's perspective) is equitable to the
stationary twin remaining on earth.
