For example, near the surface of the Earth (r ~ Ro, M = Mo), 11.c:::::: 2.42 x 1011 m and
hence, Equation (7) gives PE-gsvac:::::: - 1.82 x 10-70 J/m3. Compare these values with 11. 2':
0.23 m and PE-gsvac:::::: - 2.23 x 10-22 J/m3 in Table 1. The resolution of this disagreement
remains an open question.
One is presently unaware of any way to artificially generate gravitational squeezing of
the vacuum in the laboratory. This will be left for future investigation. However, it is
predicted to occur in the vicinity of astronomical matter. Naturally occurring traversable
wormholes in the vicinity of astronomical matter would therefore become possible.
4. Vacuum Field Stress: Negative Energy from the Casimir Effect
The Casimir effect is by far the easiest
and most well known way to generate
negative energy in the lab. The Casimir
effect that is familiar to most people is
the force that is associated with the
electromagnetic quantum vacuum
(Reference 51). This is an attractive
force that must exist between any two
neutral (uncharged), parallel, flat,
conducting surfaces (e.g., metallic
plates) in a vacuum. This force has been
well measured and it can be attributed
to a minute imbalance in the vacuum
electromagnetic zero-point energy
density inside the cavity between the
conducting surfaces versus the vacuum
electromagnetic zero-point energy
density in the free-space region outside
of the cavity (Reference 52-54). See
Figure 12 for an illustration of this
effect.
