Jim and Randy review two very convincing papers that make the claim that the Casimir effect is due to materials fluctuations and not the zero point energy
-------------------------------------------
Notes:
1. The papers we read for this program:
- Jaffe, R.L. "The Casimir Effect and the Quantum Vacuum." Phys Rev D 72, 021301(R) (2005). [arXiv]
- Nikolic, N., " Is Zero-point Energy Physical? A Toy Model for Casimir-like Effect." Ann Phys 383, 181 (2017). [arXiv
2. We discuss an earlier episode on the Casimir Effect and van der Waals forces repeatedly in this one.
