does anyone know of any new advances in zero-point physics
Deckers said:That is not considered Conventional Physics I think. It reminds me of Quantum Mechanics, the total energy in any mass is large we're told. But extraction without destruction is implicit in your desire to produce "Zero Point Energy".
Deckers said:Zapper;
You are an insultive person, I suspect you don't wish to add a reply but prefer to insult me instead. That is inconsiderate to the poster, and adds nothing to the thread.
Zero Point Energy has never been publicly proven to function viably. The hypothesis exists that it may but "energy for nothing" is the general perception.
Who would care if they got booted from your condescending and fruitless "enjoyable discussion"? I'm not looking for another degree, but maybe you're up to bat.
Don't confuse the "general perception" (as promoted by cranks and crackpots) with the real science.Deckers said:Zero Point Energy has never been publicly proven to function viably. The hypothesis exists that it may but "energy for nothing" is the general perception.
Exactly. I think that Deckers is thinking of the sci-fi version of ZPE (think Stargate SG-1/Atlantis), not the sci-fa version.Doc Al said:Don't confuse the "general perception" (as promoted by cranks and crackpots) with the real science.
Deckers said:In the oil field we have a concept called "Jerking Somebodies Chain". It means if you are hurtful and insultive enough to someone, they will answer your question. It works sometimes I guess.
The roots of Zero Point Energy are in historical German {?Nazi} Research, but so are guided missiles and jet engines.
The question was "has anybody heard anything new in the field of Zero Point Energy" My answer was no, and the net is tougher to navigate with little but a title to go on.
A Google search reveals 20,300,000 hits for Zero Point Energy . Of which this thread will now constitute a small portion now.
I only replied to show support for the suposition, not to degrade it.
I'm sure that will be of benefit to people.
ZapperZ said:Not considered conventional physics? Since when? And since when do YOU know what conventional physics is? Have you checked how many papers on Casimir effects have appeared in Phys. Rev. Lett.? Or maybe you only only read the CRC handbook? And considering that Eric Cornell and his group just published a remarkable paper on the measurement of such a force on a single atom using BEC condensates, what you are saying is outrageously wrong!

pervect said:I'm not sure what all the flaming is about, however, I would say that "Casimir force" is repectably mainstream, while Puthoff's theories are on the fringe (Puthoff does have some papers published on the topic in PRL, Puthoff, HE, “Source of Vacuum Electromagnetic Zero-Point Energy”, Physical Review A, for instance, but I would still call his theories fringe rather than mainstream).
There are other people out there talking about ZPE who are downright cranks, like Tom Bearden and his book "Energy from the Vacuum".
Zero-point physics is a branch of physics that studies the quantum mechanical properties of systems at their lowest possible energy state, known as the zero-point energy. This energy is inherent to all systems and is a result of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Zero-point energy cannot be directly measured, but its effects can be observed through phenomena such as the Casimir effect and atomic vibrations. It is often calculated using theoretical models and confirmed through experiments.
Recent advances in zero-point physics include the use of nanotechnology to manipulate and control zero-point energy, the discovery of new materials with unique zero-point energy properties, and the exploration of the role of zero-point energy in cosmology.
Zero-point energy is a fundamental aspect of the universe and has implications for various fields, including quantum computing, energy harvesting, and the development of new materials. However, its effects on our daily lives are not yet fully understood and are still being studied.
Some potential future applications of zero-point energy include creating new sources of clean energy, improving the efficiency of electronic devices, and developing new technologies for space travel. However, more research and advancements are needed before these applications can be fully realized.
