    Casimir effect
    Hi,my question is kind a strange but hope that will be interesting.
    So is it possible someway to produce at home experiment Casimir force and how should I do it ?

    it’s a pretty far off theory that was proved in laboratory settings. Not sure you have items in the house to do same. Go to You Tube and search. "casimir effect."

    Thank you for your support.But I'm still a little bit confused.So let me paraphrase my question ot this way " Would it be available some Casimir force if I just close enought ( to nm for instance) two casual (from iron or other casual metals) plates in casual room conditions ? ".

    I don't know how you would measure the effect. How will you physically measure 2 nanometers-.000000078"?

    The question is not "is it measurable?" the question is "Is it available?".Would it be this force there in mentioned conditions ?

    How do you know if you "produce " without measuring. Yes force is always there under vacuum. How will you know?
