Okay. The Casimir Effect is supposedly the force which is applied by virtual particles on two plates in close proximity to each other, pushing them together.
They say that because there is no electromagnetism being applied to the plates, they must be pushed together by virtual particles.
Now I may not be an expert but I'm pretty sure that our universe is comprised of more than one force; four, infact; and that, maybe, we should suspect one of the other forces before we jump to wild conclusions.
What if, and I'm just spit-ballin' here... Gravity plays a part in this scenario? *gasp*
Tell me why I'm wrong, please.
