2020-04-22: Will Wormholes Allow Fast Interstellar Travel?

  • 09:17: ... to be violated in some cases - for example in dark energy and in the Casimir effect. ...
  • 09:39: The casimir effect is by far the most popular speculative mechanism for opening a wormhole.
  • 09:44: ... a negative energy density relative to surroundings. Unfortunately, the Casimir effect is very, very weak, and the negative energy density it produces is ...

2019-10-21: Is Time Travel Impossible?

  • 05:42: ... have argued that we already produce this in the Casimir effect, in which the energy of the vacuum is lowered between two nearby ...
  • 06:42: But the energy conditions don’t have a really fundamental basis, and they're seen to be violated in some cases – like with the Casimir effect.

2019-03-06: The Impossibility of Perpetual Motion Machines

  • 09:05: ... it may be possible to create an energy gradient, for example with the Casimir effect in which plates are pulled together by lowering the zero-point energy ...

2018-11-14: Supersymmetric Particle Found?

  • 13:47: Eddie Galtech asks why you can't get meaningful energy from the Casimir effect.
  • 14:03: Same with the Casimir effect.

2018-11-07: Why String Theory is Right

  • 15:14: ... if the Casimir effect really is due to a change in the zero-point energy-- and there are those ...
  • 15:47: ... in the Casimir effect, the double horizon between the plates restricts what real particles can ...

2018-09-20: Quantum Gravity and the Hardest Problem in Physics

  • 09:03: If not, you could build perpetual motion machines, for example, using the Casimir effect.

2018-01-17: Horizon Radiation

  • 11:31: In some cases, changing the boundaries of space time actually reduces the number of particles, for example, in the Casimir effect.

2017-11-29: Citizen Science + Zero-Point Challenge Answer

  • 06:10: Now, geckos cling to surfaces by using what is essentially the Casimir effect between the tiny hairs, setae, on their feet and the surface.

2017-11-08: Zero-Point Energy Demystified

  • 04:18: In fact, there is one way to do this-- with the Casimir Effect.
  • 05:18: Well, if we define the average vacuum energy as 0, then the Casimir Effect produces negative energy.

2017-11-02: The Vacuum Catastrophe

  • 07:20: ... unlike the Lamb shift or the Casimir effect, the observation of accelerating expansion allows us to measure the ...

2017-10-19: The Nature of Nothing

  • 09:21: ... Casimir effect was only successfully measured in 1996 by Steven Lamoreaux at the ...
  • 09:51: Neither the Casimir effect nor the Lamb shift allow measurement of the absolute strength of vacuum energy.

  • 03:44: We can create something like it, a negative pressure, on quantum scales via Casimir effect.
  • 06:02: Quantum scale manipulation of the vacuum energy a la the Casimir effect may be enough.
