The fifth concept in New Energy science that we consider important to learning how to tap energy from the quantum vacuum. This is the famous Casimir Effect, discovered by Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir in the late 1940s.

2. And that is what Hendrik Casimir’s was
researching in the 1940s when he noticed the
weak but very real quantum-induced movement
of metal plates he called the Casimir Effect

3. The Casimir Effect, then, is our fifth
key physics insight that we consider
crucial to doing work in New Energy
To begin with, what exactly is the
Casimir Effect?

4. The Casimir Effect is the attraction of
two uncharged metallic plates in a
vacuum when placed parallel to one
another at a very small distance (1
micron or less)

6. Neils Bohr determined that Zero Point
Energy was responsible for causing the
plates to move toward one another

7. This movement surprised many physicists because
generally, two objects at rest in a vacuum have no
way to spontaneously start moving

8. To Casimir, this movement
seemed to be a “gift from
nature”, not requiring the
addition of any electrical
charge, magnets, chemical
reaction, or use of fuel

9. One way to think of why the plates
move together is to remember that
subatomic particles are constantly
forming out of the “transmuting
ether”, also called the Zero Point Field
or the quantum foam

10. The number of
subatomic particles
which emerge from
the Zero Point field
on the outside of the
two plates is much
greater than the
number forming in
between the two
plates

11. This imbalance of forces causes the
two plates to move together

12. If the Casimir Effect could be amplified, it
might help stabilize wormholes because it
creates “negative mass” within a locally
defined region of space

13. Wormholes are also called “Einstein-
Rosen Bridges”

14. Remember,
And therefore, if mass is negative, the speed
of light within that localized space is also
now changed

15. Since 1990, James Woodward has explored
how wormhole travel might be achieved

16. Wormholes would allow a spacecraft to
move non-linearly through space,
effectively achieving faster-than-light travel

17. The general opinion within NASA and the
New Energy community is that wormholes
are “more feasible than you might think”

18. Recently, scientists have shown that
microlasers can increase the Casimir
force to usable levels

19. And these experimental results are
especially important for
nanotechnology applications

20. So it’s interesting to think that we might be
able to harness the Casimir Effect to do things
across galaxies, as well as at the smallest
levels of physical activity

21. Thinking about wormholes & space
travel is a good way to get in to our
sixth physics theory which is assisting
the development of New Energy
technologies, because this is a
technology which can be used to build
advanced spacecraft
