On the other hand, H. G. B. Casimir of Philips Laboratories in the Netherlands discovered the so called “Casimir Effect”, now known as an attractive force between close metal plates. The Casimir force was measured by S. K. Lamoreaux at the University of Washington, and defined as a “force derived from partial shielding of the interior region of the plates, arising from the background zero-point fluctuations of the vacuum electromagnetic field”. Milonni and his colleagues from Los Alamos showed that this shielding effect pushes the plates together due to the unbalanced zero-point radiation (ZPR) of quantum vacuum. The vacuum energy is hereby converted into kinetic energy.

            In unifying the principle of QW, the laws of gravitational and EM attraction, and the Casmir force, this author found an obvious evidence for the existence of a real hyperspace with 5 spatial dimensions (see also ⁸) in the quantum vacuum, that can be accessed through small artificial black holes or hyperdense matter. Furthermore, there seems to exist a whole world of yet unknown quantum temperatures even far below 0ºK.

            Quantum vacuum research revealed that the so called zero-point-radiation ZPR or ZPE (an energy that exists even at 0ºK) is composed mainly of virtual electromagnetic waves and virtual particle pairs that cannot be measured directly (see for ex. ⁷, ⁹). But this is contradictory to the well known findings of Lord Kelvin, who demonstrated 1848 that all molecular activity (and therefore all EM release) freezes at this temperature. Furthermore, if we watch the formula of the Casimir force and compare it to those of the gravitational and electromagnetic (EM) forces, we realize that, while gravitational, electric and magnetic forces vary with the square of the distance [formulae 1, 2, 3][4]:
