Comment on "Demonstration of the Casimir Force in the 0.6 to 6 micrometer Range"

Abstract

We comment on a recently published measurement of the Casimir force for distances in the 0.6 to 6 micrometer range between two Au surfaces (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 5(1997)) and the net discrepancy reported for the comparison with theoretical predictions (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 5475 (1998)).Comment: 1 page, LaTeX, 2 encapsulated postscript figure
