Casimir–Memory Deviations

Casimir systems measure forces so small that they are sensitive to the quantum and geometric structure of spacetime itself. HDIF proposes that part of the observed Casimir force may encode residual curvature tension—a geometric memory effect. This experiment investigates deviations from standard Casimir predictions, including lag effects and force offsets that could reveal stored tension in the surrounding interface field.

​

Why It Matters:

Even nanometer-scale force shifts could validate HDIF’s curvature–memory coupling and provide a controlled laboratory probe of horizon-like dynamics.

​

Methods

This experiment measures Casimir forces between precisely spaced plates or membranes under variable boundary conditions. By modulating plate separation and monitoring force response, we search for hysteresis, lag, or offset patterns that imply curvature-memory effects. Specialized nano-force sensors and optomechanical membranes enable measurements in the                         range.

​

Predicted Signatures

• Small but systematic deviations from standard Casimir force predictions

• Hysteresis loops or delayed force responses under dynamic boundary motion

• A force-offset curve matching the HDIF memory-resistance term ​

• Nonlinear behavior appearing only at nanometer scales where geometric memory accumulates
