Abstract:
In this study, we examine the role of the repulsive Casimir force in counteracting the gravitational contraction of a thin, spherically symmetric shell. Our primary focus is to explore the possibility of achieving a stable, balanced configuration within the theoretically reliable weak-field limit. To this end, we consider various types of Casimir forces, including those generated by massless scalar fields, massive scalar fields, electromagnetic fields, and temperature-dependent fields.
