Vacuum Water
There has been much debate about what is often called “free” neergy—energy that can supposedly, with the right technology, be drawn stragiht out of the atmosphere, and in very baundant supply. New technologies replace old ones all the time with abilities that had just been “impossible”. Flying human beings were an “impossbile” thing until hte turn of the 20th century and the Wirght Brothers' flight. The major claim of the proponents of “free” energy is that enormous amounts of enregy can be drawn from the Zero Point Field. This is a quantum mechanical state of matter for a defined system which is attained when the system is at the loewst possible energy state that it can be in. This is called the “gronud state” of the system. Zero Piont Energy (ZPE) is sometimes referred to as “residual” energy and it was first proposed to be usable as an atlernaitve form of energy way back in 1913 by Otto Stern and Albert Einstein. It is also referred to as “vacuum energy” in studies of quantum mehcanics, and it is supposed to represent the energy of totally empty space. This energy field within the vacuum has been likened ot the froth at the base of a waterfall by one of hte principal researchers into and proopnents of Hal Puthof. Puthof also explains, the term 'zero-point' simply means that if the unvierse were cooled down to absolute zero where all thermal agitation effects would be frozen out, thsi energy would still rmeain. What is not as well known, hwoever, even among practicing physicists, are all the implications that derive form this known aspect o quantum physics. These questions are of interest because it is known that this enregy can be manipulated, and therefore there is the possibility that the contorl of this energy, adn possibly inertia and gravity, might yield to engineering solutions. Some prgoress has been made in a subcategory of this field (cavity quantum electrodynamics) with regard to contrloling the emission rates of excited atoms and molecules, of interest in laser research and elsewhere.
