Jones,
I agree with your analysis of time dilation due to acceleration
but a Casimir cavity represents a different animal entirely. We Are not dealing
with a trigonometric relationship between motions on the spatial axis vs the
motion of the time axis intersecting the spatial axis where matter must
approach significant fractions of C to dilate time. C is a STANDARDIZED rate
that we observe from within whatever inertial frame we occupy because whatever
rate that time intersects space inside our frame beomes our clock
rate/measuring stick. In a Casimir cavity the Matter on the spatial axis can
remain motionless and instead be time dilated by a change in the rate of the
time stream through the cavity(from our perspective outside the cavity). I am
Saying that displacement of longer flux or change in the ratio of short to long
flux if you prefer upconversion represents time through the cavity. This form
of time dilation creates inertial frames or gradients based on The ratio of
short to long flux which increases inversely to the cube of the spacing between
the plates (cavity width), Like wind in a sail spilling through a small hole.
Time/wind can be faster through the cavity/hole than ambient which is why I
keep pointing to that break in isotropy posited by Zottia in her paper Cavity
QED. Once the isotropy is broken nature wants to force it back together but
the plates keep it segregated – by only allowing a tiny cavity to relieve the
pressure you can create and regulate a permanent “rate” at which time
intersects the Present inside the cavity much like P1V1 = P2V2. There was a
previous thread regarding Casimir effect near slab edges which don’t believe
maintain any containment like a cavity and the isotropy should immediately be
restored just as abruptly as it was broken by the plates. In this model the
small percentage of dilation and large fractions of C required are replaced by
plate geometry (sails) and the size of the cavity (hole).
