Two parallel uncharged metal plates attract each other by reducing vacuum-energy fluctuations and number of wavelengths between them {Casimir effect} {Casimir force}: energy density = c / d^4, where c is constant and d is plate distance. Energy at plate is zero. Interior energy density decreases, so exterior energy density increases and pushes plates together. Fewer particle histories with closed time-like loops are between plates.
