'''Casimir pressure''' is created by the ] of ]s.


{{R with history}}
According to experiments, the Casimir force <math>F</math> between two closely spaced neutral parallel plate conductors is directly proportional to their surface area <math>A</math>:

<math>F=PA.</math>

Therefore, dividing the magnitude of Casimir force by the area of each conductor, Casimir pressure <math>P</math> can be found. Because the Casimir force between conductors is attractive, the Casimir pressure in space between the conductors is negative.

Because virtual particles are physical representations of the ] of physical ], the Casimir pressure is the difference in the density of the zero point energy of empty space inside and outside of cavity made by conductive plates.
