Exploring Scalar Electromagnetics: Fact or Fiction?

In summary, there is a belief that there is a large amount of energy stored in the vacuum of space that can be extracted efficiently. This concept, known as scalar electromagnetics, has been theorized by Tom Bearden and has led to the development of potential weapons by the Soviets. However, many physicists consider this to be a pseudoscientific idea and believe that it is not based on solid evidence.

Are they real are what? I've read in various places on the internet that there is a vast amount of energy stored in the vacuum of space that is supposedly extractable and extremely efficient.
Longitudinal EM energy fills vacuum of space, the time domain of spacetime, time as compressed energy, E=tc2, waves of time, phase conjugate wave pairs.

"At any point and at any time, one can freely and inexpensively extract enormous EM energy flows directly from the active vacuum itself." - Tom Bearden

The top link below contains quite a bit on information about the potential weapons (scalar howitzer if anyone has heard of it) built using scalar EM waves while the link below is the main page which contains a massive amount of information.

Given that there is so much information about the subject I was just curious to see what a bunch of physicists think. Are scalar electromagnetic pure BS or does it hold some truth?

By the mid-50s, the Soviets should have been well along in prototype building, weaponizing, and development of larger devices and starting new weapons, based on what I have called scalar electromagnetics— unified EM/gravity field theory a la Whittaker or simply electrogravitation using negative energy and time-reversed EM waves.
This guy must have some serious mental health issues. This is right up there with David Icke's "theory" about a secret world government controlled by shape-shifting alien lizards.

This is very likely a crank.

What the hell?! Thats just sad.
 

1. What is scalar electromagnetics?

Scalar electromagnetics is a theoretical concept in physics that proposes the existence of a type of energy field that is different from the traditional electromagnetic field. It suggests that there are two types of electromagnetic waves: transverse waves (such as light) and longitudinal waves (such as sound), with scalar waves being the latter. It is thought that these scalar waves can interact with matter in ways that traditional electromagnetic waves cannot.

2. Is there any scientific evidence for scalar electromagnetics?

At this time, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the existence of scalar electromagnetics. While there have been some studies and experiments that have shown potential effects of scalar waves, there is a lack of reproducibility and a lack of understanding of how these waves work. More research and evidence is needed to fully understand and validate the concept.

3. Can scalar electromagnetics be used for communication or energy transfer?

There is currently no technology that can harness scalar waves for communication or energy transfer. While the concept of using these waves for such purposes has been proposed, there are many technical challenges that need to be overcome before this can become a reality. As of now, traditional electromagnetic methods are still the most effective means of communication and energy transfer.

4. Are there any potential applications for scalar electromagnetics?

Some researchers have suggested that scalar electromagnetics could have potential applications in areas such as medicine, weather control, and even propulsion systems for spacecraft. However, these ideas are still in the early stages of exploration and require more research and development before they can be considered viable options.

5. Is scalar electromagnetics fact or fiction?

The concept of scalar electromagnetics is still a highly debated topic in the scientific community. While there is no concrete evidence to support its existence, there are also no definitive studies that disprove it. Until more research and evidence is available, it is difficult to say whether scalar electromagnetics is fact or fiction. It remains a theoretical concept that requires further exploration and understanding.
