The Casmir effect and the Casmir-Polder Force is considered by many scientists to be a result of asymmetrical forces being generated by and or from the quantum vacuum based on the materials and geometries being used.
It did take decades to verify to the level people don't consider it experiment error, and we're sill arguing over if it's really a quantum mechanical effect. Some people do not like the whole quantum field theory thing and their efforts to disprove things related to it is important for science.
Personally QFT makes a lot of sense to me so I look at the work being done at Eagleworks and wish there was a way to help accelerate the pace of research because this thing isn't the LHC its not trillion dollar stuff, a few million is probably the total bill to do all the work and the subsequent re verification by JPL, NASA and Johns Hopkins that they want to do. This could be "done" in a year if we stop going slowly. It's 2015 and I would like my hover car next year thanks.
