This is a simple (and possibly not very bright) question:
We know that F=A/d^4 for the Casimir Force (~10^-7 N for two cm^2 plates).
Does the gravitational attraction between the masses of the plates not figure?
I once thought that this was not an EM effect as such or at least doesn't depend on EM waves passing 'through' between the plates. Is that right?
Are various other possible forces factored out, or simply just don't apply?
I should know the answer, but for now, I'm stumped.
Thanks, Rudi
