darpa-dynamic-vacuum
Summary
DARPA Defense Sciences Office program investigating the dynamic vacuum model — the hypothesis that quantum vacuum energy density is mutable and degradable, not fixed and immutable. $1M grant to Sonny White. Research goal: evaluate structure of energy density in Casimir cavity. Key finding: vacuum energy density in Casimir cavity is NOT isotropic — varying energy density field present. Custom Casimir geometry (1 μm sphere in 4 μm cylinder) produces negative energy density matching Alcubierre warp metric — a real nanoscale warp bubble (EPJ C, 2021). Practical output: engineered Casimir structures producing detectable voltages and currents. Commercialized via Casimir, Inc. ($12M seed). DARPA DSO is the common funder connecting White (Casimir), Chase (UnLAB), and potentially other 'gray track' entities.
