Abstract
In addition to the Casimir e ect, which describes the forces arising between the two plates due to selecting the vacuum fluctuations between plates, there may exist also moments of forces. They are caused by the formation of vortices in the vacuum because of self-organization a giant number of fluctuating ‘particle-antiparticle’ pairs rotating around their common center of mass of such a pair. These vortices can transmit torque from one spinning disk to another initially immobile. Also, this torque can be responsible for the flat dependence of the orbital velocities of the spiral galaxies, instead the notorious dark matter. The Navier-Stokes equations, with slightly modi ed internal
forces (the pressure gradient and the fluctuating viscosity in the super fluid vacuum medium), give a clear picture of the formation of such vortices.
