antoniseb. I looked at it cursorily, and note a few things for the authors.
1.The Casimir Effect has nothing to do with the strong force...it is entirely electromagnetic in nature.
2. Neither does the strong force have anything to do with a combination of the weak and electromagnetic forces. The charged weak current is short ranged and has a massive carrier. The electromagnetic force has a massless, infinite range carrier. They are mutually exclusive, but belong to a gauge group.(Glashow, Weinberg, Salaam circa 1978.)
3 The massive Z boson has been predicted and confirmed, along with it's charged partners at all the major accelerator labs. The low energy variants of the Z have been my baliwick for 25 years, and claims to their possible interactions have been enumerated both here and elsewhere, in hard copy print, e-print, and lecture halls before real physicists, at international conferences, where all questions were addressed, too many times to count.
4. The strong force arises naturally out of Quantum Chromodynamics as a shadow of the color force, much in the same manner that virtual photons exchanged between passing helium atoms causes Van Der Waals attractions that are a shadow of the electromagnetic force. For the helium, it means two slow atoms coalesce to liquid drops. For the nucleons, the "strong" shadow of the color force means nuclear binding energy....which was also at one time modeled as a "drop", with the nucleons free to move about, like water molecules in a raindrop.
5. There remains only one model that quantizes gravitational interactions within the confines of the Standard Model, with an identifiable carrier, that interacts with all the members of the Standard Model, without the need for dozens of new particles (supersymmetry), or inflation, or Dark Energy, or Dark Matter, or breaking the hierarchy of conservation laws, and has predicted physical effects that were seen and published.
6. With the recent discovery of ~ 50 % of the missing baryonic matter as highly ionized oxygen, and the anticipation of more baryonic mass being found between x-ray and visible light spectra by the new UV sensors...times look to be interesting indeed.
7. Experts in galactic studies will determine how much the recent Fisher -Tully relationship bends to the discovery that that standard candle has been missing ~ 50 % of the true intrinsic luminosity due to entrained galactic dust.
8 Correlations between an abriged Fisher Tully relationship and the ultra high Z Sne standard candles will be critical to maintaning the status quo of acceleration....hence dark energy.
