Casimir effect

The Casimir effect is a physical phenomenon that arises from the quantum field fluctuations between two closely spaced, uncharged conductive plates. It is not caused by a “pull” between the plates, but rather by the changes in the electromagnetic field between them.

The Casimir effect can be explained by the idea that the presence of the plates restricts the possible fluctuations of the quantum fields in the space between them. This restriction changes the energy density of the vacuum between the plates compared to the energy density outside. As a result, there is a net attractive force between the plates.

I argue that the Casimir effect could be simply the attraction of 2 masses close together and not by the vacuum space-time difference between the plate compared to the outside of the plates
