Szczepan, you bring up interesting idea I had not yet begun to reflect
upon. That we actually
do not have a good way of measuring the true mass of Earth, or any
other astro body.
So I do not know if there is some more accurate way of mass measure. I
would guess that
with EM-gravity, the measure is close enough. One would think that
accurate measure of size
and then average mass per unit volume, then multiply.
Some EM-gravity can be excessive such as in rigid body rotation, and
then some can be a
minimum such as in an asteroid with its moon.
When we shift from Newtonian-gravity to EM-gravity we shift to making
volume more important
and then an average density over that volume.
We maybe surprised about the Moon, in that we relied on Newtonian
gravity to predict the mass of the Moon, and found it to be rather
less dense, but with EM-gravity, we may have that mass very much
wrong, and that the Moon may have a dense core as the Earth has. I
feel and would not be surprised to find that data from the Moon is
different than that which we have come to believe is true.
I want to talk about disqualifying the Casimir Effect Experiment. It
is believed there is a attraction between the two plates. But any
attraction, I suspect is only a uneven distribution of the charges in
the two plates. And that would also suggest that there be a repulsion
and bending outwards of some Casimir plates. Here again, I suspect an
electroscope can model the Casimir effect and show that repulsion does
occur. But far worse for the Casimir Effect than the Cavendish
Experiment, is that I believe there is no Casimir effect at all. I
believe that the Casimir Effect relies on ideas of assumptions that
are unwarranted. The assumption of a vacuum and of "pieces of the EM
wave". I think that if Casimir himself was given the idea that the
Maxwell Equations the 6 equations as axioms of physics, that physics
has no Casimir Effect.
My main objection to the Casimir Effect is that it assumes that two
plates can have their charges idealized away. The vacuum itself is an
idealization. The idea that a EM wave can be
"pieced" is an idealization. So I have mentioned three "idealizations"
which have no basis given the 6 Maxwell Equations. The worst one of
those idealizations is to think that the charges embedded in the
plates can be eliminated or ignored in the effect. And thus, since the
charges cannot be eliminated or ignored, that we can never have an
effect of less EM inside the plates versus, outside the plates. In
other words, there is nothing in the Maxwell Equations to support a
Casimir Effect, but rather the reverse, there are a lot of assumptions
that are counter to the Maxwell Equations.
Let me give two examples from common day experience that relates to
Casimir Effect. I have a woodstove in winter and sometimes the soot or
ash finds its way into the ambient air and especially on the TV
screen, since the screen is charged. What I want to point out is that
two materials near one another form plates but we can never remove the
basic charge of the atoms in those plates. Another experience is at
grocery store checkout are those thin plastic bags and sometimes hard
to separate, because of the electric charge between them.
So in the Casimir Effect, there is no physics there, because what we
end up measuring is not a
density of EM between the plates versus outside the plates, but the EM
of the atoms in the plates themselves, for which we cannot
distinguish. There is one fact in Quantum Mechanics that contradicts
the Casimir Effect-- the Quantum Well.
And another poignant bit of information, whether the Casimir Effect is
true or not true, nothing else in physics depends on it, which
logically indicates it was never true. If it were true that Mars had a
lot of water, has important consequences, but if true that Casimir
Effect exists has no consequences. In mathematics we often have
examples of this, for it does not matter if the
Fermat's Last Theorem is true or false because nothing else in math is
dependent on it, which indicates that there is a deep misunderstanding
of the elements that make up FLT-- such as what is finite versus
infinite. If I were to say that the mass of the Sun was gray and
called it the Gray Effect, that some may think such a statement is
worthy of endeavor and experiment, when all it is, is a bit of
nonsense.
The Casimir Effect simply can never measure anything, without
measuring what the atoms of the two plates are and what those atoms
are doing. To talk about the EM between two close plates is not
physics but muddle headed philosophy. I wish I could be kinder to the
Casimir Effect but afraid it is nonsense all along. It was a relic of
a time in which everyone accepted Newtonian gravity and General
Relativity. In a time in which we know gravity to be EM-gravity, then
the Casimir Effect is wreckage to throw in the dust bin.
