The Casimir force is a spectacular consequence of the existence of vacuum fluctuations and thus deserves a place in courses on quantum theory. We argue that the scattering approach within a one-dimensional field theory is well suited to discuss the Casimir effect. It avoids in a transparent way divergences appearing in the evaluation of the vacuum energy. Furthermore, the scattering approach connects in a natural manner to the standard discussion of one-dimensional scattering problems in a quantum theory course. Finally, it allows to introduce students to the methods employed in the current research literature to determine the Casimir force in real-world systems.

Analogy of space-time as an elastic medium -- Study of the perturbation tensor of the metric $h_{\mu\nu}$ through the prism of the analogy of the theory of elasticity -- Analysis and potential consequences
The weak-field metric perturbation h_mu_nu, mapped onto an elastic strain tensor, has components h0z, hxz, hyz and hzz that no known GR experiment activates, which the authors suggest may be new deformations or gravit...
