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 uses precision interferometers to measure small, frequency-dependent phase shifts in optical paths. By scanning a range of input frequencies through high-finesse cavities, we compare observed phase responses to HDIF’s predicted curvature–memory kernel. Archival LIGO/Virgo datasets and tabletop optical interferometers can be used to search for dispersive phase-lag patterns.

Predicted Signatures

• Frequency-dependent phase delays consistent with HDIF memory kernels

• Small deviations from classical GR predictions, especially at high frequencies

• A smooth phase-lag curve matching the functional form of
