I don't know if anyone has heard of this, but anyways, here's a link to the site about it:

It's interesting, but apossible source of power. I don't even know if it belongs in this board, but, post ur comments

That was way over my hear, and now I have a Migrain!...
Dunno, Not up on Quantum Physics, I got the Electrons changing Shells and stuff, but... seems sketchy

There are hundreds of websites out there dealing with ZPE. No one knows at this time if this vacuum energy actually exists or can be used as a power source. If you're interested in the subject you might like the book "The Hunt for Zero Point" by Nick Cook. But I have to warn you, it's fringe science!

i shall check it out, and seth... one advil is often enough

I have som flexiril. It works better, still hurts, but you don't care!

Thanks to your first post, Lone, I've taken to reading that entire webpage, many others dealing with the subject, and also am about to order this video: Free Energy: The Race to Zero Point.
Thank you for the introduction. I may comment on the material later once I've absorbed it accordingly.

Ah...the source of energy so often referred to by Science Fiction Authors. Quantum Physics...hmm...some of it sounds like what causes the x-ray emission from some black holes.
I have read about Zero Point Energy before, and it does seem interesting...it and negative energy have been proposed as power sources and propulsion methods (respectively).
I am continuing my study into Quantum Physics, and this is something i am interested in.

How Much Do We Really Know About the Speed of Light?

In one of his videos from earlier this year, YouTuber Joe Scott, host of "Answers With Joe," takes on the glaring question of the speed of light.
Physicists Use Quantum Mechanics to Pull Energy out of Nothing
https://www.thesciencemag.com/2023/02/p … cs-to.html
Scientists have performed the quantum version of creating energy out of thin air for their most recent magic performance. It's an accomplishment that seems to defy both logic and physical law.
The usual line of reasoning, according to William Unruh, a theoretical physicist at the University of British Columbia, is that "you can't take energy straight from the vacuum because there's nothing there to offer."
However, Masahiro Hotta, a theoretical scientist at Japan's Tohoku University, suggested 15 years ago that perhaps the void could be persuaded to give up something.

A Hybrid Interstellar Mission Using Antimatter
https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2022/03 … ntimatter/
Epsilon Eridani has always intrigued me because in astronomical terms, it’s not all that far from the Sun. I can remember as a kid noting which stars were closest to us – the Centauri trio, Tau Ceti and Barnard’s Star – wondering which of these would be the first to be visited by a probe from Earth. Later, I thought we would have quick confirmation of planets around Epsilon Eridani, since it’s a scant (!) 10.5 light years out, but despite decades of radial velocity data, astronomers have only found one gas giant, and even that confirmation was slowed by noise-filled datasets.
Even so, Epsilon Eridani b is confirmed. Also known as Ægir (named for a figure in Old Norse mythology), it’s in a 3.5 AU orbit, circling the star every 7.4 years, with a mass somewhere between 0.6 and 1.5 times that of Jupiter. But there is more: We also get two asteroid belts in this system, as Gerald Jackson points out in his new paper on using antimatter for deceleration into nearby star systems, as well as another planet candidate.

if such energy does exist, it will be a long time before humans can use this to travel

In Cosmology the Scientists are now investigating the possibility that ZPE could be responsible for the mysterious dark energy that is driving the expansion of the universe. Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory or "Eagleworks Laboratories" at NASA's Johnson Space Center is a small research group investigating a variety of theories regarding new forms of spacecraft propulsion. The principal investigator is Dr. Harold G. White. A reactionless drive is a hypothetical device producing motion without the exhaust of a propellant. A propellantless drive is not necessarily reactionless when it constitutes an open system interacting with external fields; but a reactionless drive is a particular case of a propellantless drive that is a closed system, presumably in contradiction with the law of conservation of momentum. Reactionless drives are often considered similar to a perpetual motion machine. At X-ray wavelengths the polarization from the quantum fluctuations should be near 100%several proposed X-ray telescopes that may soon be able to verify the result conclusively such as China's Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) and NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Many physical effects attributed to zero-point energy have been experimentally verified, such as spontaneous emission, Casimir force, Lamb shift, magnetic moment of the electron and Delbrück scattering. Euclid telescope will map galaxies up to 10 billion light years away seeing how dark energy influences their arrangement and shape, the mission will allow scientists to see if the strength of dark energy has changed. If dark energy is found to vary throughout time it would indicate it is due to quintessence, where observed acceleration is due to the energy of a scalar field, rather than the cosmological constant One way in which ZPE could be responsible for dark energy is if the energy density of the vacuum of space is much larger than we currently think it is. This is because the energy density of the vacuum would contribute to the overall energy density of the universe, and this could be enough to explain the observed expansion of the universe. A paper by Armen Allahverdyan and Theo Nieuwenhuizen in 2000 showed the feasibility of extracting zero-point energy for useful work from a single bath, without contradicting the laws of thermodynamics, by exploiting certain quantum mechanical properties.
