Abstract
We present a calculation of the two-graviton exchange contribution to the law of force between a test mass and a fluctuating mass distributi on in the limit of targe distances. We find an interaction potential w hich varies with the distance as R(-7). The effect is suppressed by th e square of the Planck length Lambda p, so that this gravitational Cas imir effect is only theoretical, i.e., too small to presently be measu red.
