Continuing interest of Space agencies and Militaries to exploit Zero-Point Energy for applications like propulsion and for generating electric power.

Zero-point energy is the energy that remains when all other energy is removed from a system. Zero-point energy  is the lowest energy that a given quantum mechanical system can have (i.e., the ground state of the system). In quantum field theory, it refers to the energy of the vacuum (i.e., a space devoid of matter [the energy of “nothing”]).

 

 

This behaviour is demonstrated by, for example, liquid helium. As the temperature is lowered to absolute zero, helium remains a liquid, rather than freezing to a solid, owing to the irremovable zero-point energy of its atomic motions. (Increasing the pressure to 25 atmospheres will cause helium to freeze.)

Zero-point energy, also known as ground state energy, could be the greatest gift the quantum world can ever give us. It’s a byproduct of the fact that subatomic particles don’t really behave like single particles, but like waves constantly flitting between different energy states. This means even the seemingly empty vacuum of space is actually a roiling sea of virtual particles fluctuating in and out of existence, and all those fluctuations require energy.

 

If there’s as much energy in those fluctuations as some — though definitely not all — physicists believe, and if we could ever learn how to tap into this phenomenon, we would gain access to an unparalleled source of energy. Zero-point energy could power the planet with the strength of multiple suns, making it easy for us to solve Earth’s energy problems forever or to travel beyond the solar system and take our place among the stars.

 

There are also effects and forces arising from the vacuum energy that may be useful for future applications. The Casimir force or effect (also called the Casimir-Polder effect) is a weak attraction between objects due to the resonance of energy fields present in the space between them.

 

Even though ZPE technology has been secretly developed and implemented by the military-industrial complex (MIC), it is unreported by the U.S. national news media to inform and educate the American people, aaccording to Nicholas P. Ginex. It is reported that the military aerospace sector has developed and implemented interstellar flying objects (IFOs) that can travel into space. Zero-point energy can achieve low cost energy without the use of oil, coal, gas and nuclear fuels that pollute the earth.

 

While it is tempting to think that the energy of the vacuum in its abundance might somehow be harvested for our general use, Some scinetists think it is not possible. Extracting energy from a ground-state system would imply that the resulting system would have a lower energy, which is a nonsensical concept given that the system is (by definition) already at its lowest energy state. Forays into “free energy” inventions and perpetual-motion machines using ZPE are considered by the broader scientific community to be pseudoscience, says US Army.
