Metamaterials could amplify Casimir effect by 100 billion times

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/12/metamaterials-could-amplify-casimir.html

this is all good ideas for interstellar travel because for create a "Warp Bubble" or a wormhole negative energy for what we know is necessary, and the only place that we know for sure that it exist is in the quantum Vacuum

Metamaterials seems promise in many ways for try to manipulate the quantum vacuum

Well this experiment prove that is possible turn virtual vacuum particles in Real particle like Photons
