Findings

High temperatures (~10^11 K) are crucial for Casimir effects in plasmas.

Classical and quantum considerations influence Casimir forces in astrophysical contexts.

High-temperature plasmas affect the physics of stars and the universe.

Abstract

We present a short review of an unusual but important application for a high-temperature charged plasma. The unorthodox proposition was made by Ninham concerning a contribution from Casimir forces across high-temperature electron-positron plasma in nuclear interactions. The key message in the current work is how high temperatures ($\sim10^{11}$ \,K) pop out as essential. Clearly, classical, semi-classical, and quantum considerations for the background media impact both the Casimir effect and the physics of stars and the Universe.
