Are there any physicists on this forum?
I ask because I'm interested in the zero point energy debate. I know there are many skeptics, and healthy skepticism is a good thing, but not knee-jerk skepticism.
As a layman, I guess how I could describe it is the theory that there is vast untapped energy in the ether, all we have to do is find a way to access it and use it.
Here is the wiki entry on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy
This is the simple english wiki entry:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy
I found this debate on it on a science forum at some university:
https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1256
seems that there are more skeptics than believers at least on that particular debate.
So then, the CT aspect goes something like this:
the government has reversed engineered some crashed UFOs, with the help of
surviving aliens, they have mastered zero point energy which is necessary to power space vehicles to travel the great distances.
Now, they aren't using thrust based propulsion, it's something else, anti-matter, or anti-gravity, and manipulation of space time, etc, portals, wormholes, something like that.
Of course, it all sounds like horsedung, but UFO guys are saying the government is suppressing it to keep petroleum industry corporations in power, who don't want zero point energy becoming popular, because if it were, they would no longer be in business, no longer control the world, wouldn't control politicians, etc. and wouldn't need to fight wars, prop up the military industrial complex, etc.
Even if that's all BS, probably is, though I'd love to believe it, and secretly I do believe it ( though of course it's speculation )
But, that's all irrelevant. All that matters to me is whether zero point energy is fact or at least a possibility or fantasy.
Didn't Einstein first say it was "dead as a door nail", then later changed his mind?
What say you?
