Open MindedNess!

I always worry when somebody opens a post by blasting anybody who might disagree.

But, what's so special about 50% reflection at any angle? Is there something more here?

Can you provide any citations of these sources?

For those who are new to the discussion: This is brief so it bears repeating:

Need Metal Samples Prepared for ZPE project

I am designing a metal plate that absorbs EUV better on one side and reflects it better on the opposite side. The reflected EUV of the Quantum flux will exert twice as much radiation pressure on one side of the plate as the absorbed EUV on the opposite side; therefore, the plate will experience a constant net force from the ZPE field!

I need help producing a few small samples of Nickel-Aluminum alloys for testing!

Regarding fifty percent reflection: I was refuting the comment on the previous discussion (that got summarily shut down!) The comment was to the effect that we could not get useful reflections from any material in the 5-15 nm wavelengths. Actually, a fair amount of research is being done on this very problem because of the need for lenses and mirrors that act in these wavelengths for the next generation of microprocessors. Some current foundries are already putting chips with a 32 nm resolution into routine production!!!

This is the paper I cited earlier about reflectivity.

Thorium-Based Thin Films as Highly Reflective Mirrors in the EUV

The following is but one article of many that describe the history of Zero-Point energy. In particular, on page nine, it discusses the experimental evidence that the Casimir Force is actually the radiation pressure of the Quantum Flux!

Exploring The Vacuum

I am not dogmatically insisting that my interpretation is the only one, merely that it is orthodox and plausible; in other words, it is a worthwhile experiment!!! Like I said. I just need help getting a few samples of various nickel-aluminum alloys made and I might be able to get a reasonably conclusive experiment together.

Are we talking about Barry Setterfield , the young earth guy? I'll discuss engineering, and probably science, all day, but I don't have time to argue whether Jesus rode a dinosaur into Jerusalem. I'm outta here. Good luck to ya.

Setterfield is out of his element with geology; nonetheless he was published in a good journal. Besides, here are more references!

We report measurements of the Casimir force between a gold sphere and a silicon surface with an array

of nanoscale, rectangular corrugations using a micromechanical torsional oscillator. At distances between

150 and 500 nm---

The Casimir force is the interaction between neutral

conductors that can be understood as resulting from the

alteration of the zero point energy of the electromagnetic

field in the presence of boundaries

Abstract. We report on the progress of a NASA-funded study being carried out at the Lockheed

Martin Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto and the California State University in Long

Beach to investigate the proposed link between the zero-point field of the quantum vacuum

and inertia. It is well known that an accelerating observer will experience a bath of radiation

resulting from the quantum vacuum which mimics that of a heat bath, the so-called Davies-

Unruh effect. We have further analyzed this problem of an accelerated object moving through

the vacuum and have shown that the zero-point field will yield a non-zero Poynting vector to

an accelerating observer. Scattering of this radiation by the quarks and electrons constituting

matter would result in an acceleration-dependent reaction force that would appear to be the

origin of inertia of matter (Rueda and Haisch 1998a, 1998b). In the subrelativistic case this

inertia reaction force is exactly newtonian and in the relativistic case it exactly reproduces the

well known relativistic extension of Newton's Law. This analysis demonstrates then that both

the ordinary, ~F = m~a, and the relativistic forms of Newton's equation of motion may be derived

from Maxwell's equations as applied to the electromagnetic zero-point field. We expect to be

able to extend this analysis in the future to more general versions of the quantum vacuum than

just the electromagnetic one discussed herein.

Ridicule is the last refuge of those who can no longer defend their point of view by legitimate discourse.
