In the typical Casimir effect, the boundaries of two semi-infinite media exert a force upon one another across a vacuum gap separating them. In this paper, I argue that a static gravitational field can be regarded as a "soft" boundary which interacts with a test object of finite size through the electromagnetic zero-point-energy field. Therefore, a pressure exists upon a single slab placed in a gravitational field and surrounded by a vacuum. Interestingly, this extremely small Casimir pressure of the gravitational field may cause relative displacements in ground-based sensing microstructures larger than those from astrophysical gravitational waves in macroscopic antennas.

In order to directly demonstrate that in static gravitational field the rate of clocks increases with their distance from the source, a simple thought experiment is proposed.
