Technical details emerging at moderated discussion forum at http://stardrive.org/title.shtml

Note, the key point Hal is not understanding is that whilst Quantum Electrodynamics does not have an absolute energy scale, General Relativity does. DeWitt in calculating the Casimir force subtracts off the space without plates from the space with plates in his "regularization" for the dimensionless number "a" to fit into the approximately spherically symmetric Casimir boundary potential energy a(h/mcr) per unit energy = a(Compton Wavelength)/r. Rotation will spoil the exact spherical symmetry of the thin shell of charge (ignored in the toy model) It is the dimensionless coefficient "a" that DeWitt "regularizes" and comes up with the fluke w = +1/3 for that fragment of the whole problem only. The uniform core of dark energy of negative pressure with dimensionless potential /\zpfr^2 is not even conceived of in DeWitt's calculation that Hal cites. It is a Red Herring. In simplest case of a non-rotating spherical shell of charge in the Newtonian approximation

V(Puthoff)/c^2 = ah/mcr + be^2/mc^2r = Casimir Boundary Zero-Point Self-Energy + Coulomb Self-Energy

This requires Hal to jump through hoops, i.e. he has vanishing positive zero point pressure inside the shell and strong enough positive pressure w = +1/3 outside the shell to prevent the explosion of the shell from the self-Coulomb repulsion. This, however contradicts the equivalence of gravity and inertia as well as actual data from Type 1a supernovae. Hal tries to hand wave this away by saying that only relative differences of zero point pressure gravitate - in stark direct contradiction to the corner stone of Einstein's theory of gravity, i.e. the local equivalence of g-force to inertial force.

In contrast, in my model the outside of the shell of charge has a very weak negative pressure w = -1 (for positive zero point energy density also assumed by Hal) consistent with the above observations from Type 1a supernovae of the accelerating expansion of the universe. It has a strong negative pressure core in the interior of the shell which acts as a CONFINEMENT "spring" against which the shell of charge must do work.

That is, most simply, from the interior of the thin shell of charge

V(Sarfatti)/c^2 = V(Puthoff)/c^2 + Dark Energy Core = V(Puthoff)/c^2 + /\zpfr^2

What makes the electron stable, for example is the positive power of r with a positive sign to the energy. This is a 3D harmonic oscillator with G = SU(3) symmetry (spherical polar coordinates). Rotation will break this down to H = SU(2) in the plane normal to the spin z-axis (cylindrical coordinates).

Note that for a single spin zero toy model "electron", the charged shell has thickness ~ e^2/mc^2 ~ 10^-13 cm and radius ~ h/mc ~ 10^-11 cm at low energy. It appears to shrink from an induced space-warp when hit with large momentum transfers in scattering - looking more and more like a point ~ 10^-16 cm in high-energy experiments.

In this problem, the SSS GR metric "MICRO-GEON" would appear to be, in the Schwarzschild radial coordinate

g00 = (1 + V(r)/c^2) = (1 + ah/mcr + be^2/mc^2r + /\zpfr^2) = 1/grr

WITHOUT ANY BLACK HOLE EVENT Horizon. This is heuristic and needs to be checked more carefully. There is only the singularity at r = 0. However, in the usual way use instead the cutoff

g00 = a(1 + (b/a)alpha)h/mc(r + Lp) + /\zpfr^2) = 1/grr

Lp^2 = hG/c^3

alpha = e^2/hc ~ 1/137

to remove the singularity.

This is not a vacuum solution because the source distribution will be /\zpf(r) that I approximated as a constant in the above Newtonian model approximation to this more accurate GR model.

What we have here is, I suspect, a BOOTSTRAP self-consistent emergent solution for a non-rotating charged micro-geon stabilized by positive dark zero point energy density with opposite w = -1 negative pressure.

Note there have been two Red Herrings in this regard:

I. Red Herring #1 from James Woodward and Eric Davis that the standard particle model Higgs-Goldstone mechanism for the origin of inertia (rest mass) of leptons and quarks is wrong because the Higgs particle has not been seen. In fact the coupling constant for the excitation of the Higgs particle is independent of the coupling constants for the excitation of the leptons and quarks. Therefore, the objection of Woodward and Davis is simply wrong.

In order to obey the Einstein equivalence principle gravity and inertia are inseparable. Indeed, deriving gravity from the same SU(2)weak Higgs mechanism for inertia is consistent with the equivalence principle. Indeed in

B(x) = Lp'd'Theta(x)

Theta(x) = Trace{QaTheta^a}

a = 1,2,3.4

{Qa} is the Lie algebra of U(1)hyperchargexSU(2)weak

in the fundamental 2x2 representation. Since the Pauli spin matrices are traceless, only the U(1)hypercharge local phase is important in generating Einstein's field equations. That is, we use the U(1) phase of the hypercharge internal symmetry group, i.e.

B(x) = kLp*'d'(Theta(x))hypercharge

k = dimensionless hypercharge coupling constant.

Lp* = effective Planck length

II. Hal Puthoff's citing the DeWitt calculation i.e. w = +1/3 vs w = -1 for the boundary effect on virtual photons in the Casimir potential ah/mcr. What is at issue there is the precise dimensionless number for "a". This issue is completely irrelevant to the GR prediction of the absolute gravity of zero point energy density given in the conceptually independent term /\zpfr^2 in the effective Newtonian limit potential toy model for the EVO that is nowhere in the DeWitt calculation.

"In reading over some of this material, I would agree that if it can be shown that the ZPFs or cosmological constant field is a condensate, then it should be, in theory, possible to modulate it and perhaps control it via interference effects like an analog to the Josephson Effect. (Actually, one does not even need a condensate for that per se; coherence alone will suffice.)"

Sarfatti has shown it mathematically with his curved tetrad equation

B(x) = Lp'd'Theta(x)

Einstein-Cartan tetrad is e(x) = 1 + B(x)

Roughly speaking this is the "square root" of Einstein invariant local interval ds^2(x) = guv(x)dx^udx^v

Theta(x) is the Goldstone phase of the vacuum condensate. Lp is the Planck scale. The "physics" is all in the phase singularities like in a Type II superconductor for example.

 
"I was not aware of the Sarfatti work at the time I wrote the Mitre Paper."

It's quite recent in more mature form using the Cartan differential forms. His work in his 2002 books is more clumsy still grasping on how to best say his intuitive idea you give above in the best mathematical form.

"In turn, my concept of ZPF/ZPM as its own condensate goes back to my work for my Thesis in 1994 where it first appeared (though there are independent antecedents by others before that). That, of course, was pre-supernova, universe acceleration discovery, and was put forth for a completely different purpose. The use the cosmological constant condensate concept in the Mitre Paper was also for yet another completely different purpose more closely related to the foundations of quantum mechanics. But it is very interesting to see the concept used for such a "engineering" purpose."

"I am glad my Mitre Paper was of use to someone , though in truth, I was not attempting to cover alternate theories of known phenomenon (a track I tend to avoid), but rather generalizations of extant theories along with new theoretical developments of phenomena that are known, but not yet explained, or for potential new phenomena."

What Sarfatti is doing is not at all "alternate theory". He is applying mainstream battle-tested Einstein 1915 GR with semi-classical quantum corrections to the problem of EVOs & geodesic propulsion of Alcubierre type (no g-forces at all). Sarfatti is also able to derive Einstein's 1915 GR equations from the standard particle model Higgs mechanism using the Einstein-Cartan formalism. The curved part of the tetrad 1-form e is of the form

e = 1 + B

where Sarfatti writes the 1-form

B = (hG/c^3)^1/2'd'(Goldstone Phase of Higgs Vacuum Condensate Field)

'd' indicates singularities in the Goldstone phase field so that

d'd' =/= 0 even though d^2 = 0

i.e. integrals of the 1-form B about non-bounding 1-cycles are quantized and not zero.

Einstein's metric field

g = guvdx^udx^v is the symmetric bilinear form = (1^a + B^a)nab(1^b + B^b)

nab = constant Minkowski metric

Here T = De = 0 (vanishing torsion 2-form)

D = d + W/
W = spin connection 1-form

R = DW is curvature 2-form.

To get geodesic propellantless propulsion (weightless warp drive) does require a torsion field S

e' = 1 + B + S

T' = De' = dS + W/\S + S/\(1 + B + S) =/= 0

more details elsewhere 

 "But Dr. Sarfatti is certainly correct that I was unaware of that B equation (and much other work in the alternate theory area)."

This is a new development. 

Sarfatti was not at Mitre. The weapons potential of this is of course of interest to MASINT.

On the EVOs below basically

V(Sarfatti)/c^2 = V(Puthoff)/c^2 + V(Dark Energy Core)/c^2

V(Dark Energy Core)/c^2 = /\zpfr^2

This solves the problem of the stability of the electron says Sarfatti - in sense of old Lorentz theory and Wheeler's "geons" with effective G* ~ 10^40G at short-range only.

"The concepts expressed in that Paper are at a less-detailed (and therefore less useful) level."
