Zero Point Field Energy
The Invisible Field Quantum science in the 20th century revealed the presence of an all-pervasive background sea of quantum energy in the universe. Cambridge University’s Dr. Harold Puthoff was one of the first to measure this energy of the universe. This energy was measured at zero degrees Kelvin, the absolute lowest possible temperature in the universe equal to minus 273 degrees Celsius. At this temperature according to Newtonian physics all molecular and atom movement should have ceased and no energy should be measured at all! Instead of finding no energy, as was expected, he found what he called a ‘seething cauldron’ of energy and henceforth it was given the name zero point energy (ZPE). Harold Puthoff proved that the physical vacuum is not devoid of energy at all and that instead of being a vacuum, space it is actually a plenum. (1) In quantum electrodynamics the background sea of quantum energy is now used to explain the uncertainty principle that was discovered by quantum physics, the unpredictable behaviour of subatomic particles. The jiggling of subatomic particles is believed to be caused by the zero point field. Randomly virtual photons jump back and forth between the zero point field and our physical world. They collide with and are absorbed by subatomic particles that will be excited into a higher energy state. After nanoseconds the energy is released again by means of another virtual photon that returns to the zero point field. The photon is called a virtual photon since it comes and goes from the zero point field and is not here to stay in the material world. It is only used in the energy exchange between the zero point field and the material world. Not only photons but also all sorts of elementary particles come into our physical reality from nowhere at all. They seem to come from the zero point field, make their appearance in our physical reality for only thousandths or millionths of a second to disappear once again into the void. These forms of mystical particles were called virtual particles since they were not stable enough to stay around in our reality. The zero point field is a quantum foam of virtual particles and photons. Our universe is never at rest not even in empty space! Even in a pitch-dark room where absolutely no light from the outside world can penetrate, scientists can still measure the presence of virtual photons. The existence of the zero point field has been known in the quantum science community for a long time, but most scientists simply ignored its relevance. They simply nullified the effect of the zero point field energy in their scientific calculations since it only bothered them. As a result they eliminated the effect of the zero point field because they believed the effect was insignificant! However a small but growing number of scientists now take the zero point field very seriously, among them are many professors of note and they are now taking on a radically different view of our reality. Their scientific discoveries and theories are controversial in the eyes of the established science community who are holding on to the old paradigm that our world can and eventually will be fully explained by a mechanical model of the universe. The zero point field is becoming popular to a larger public thanks to scientific journalist Lynn McTaggert who wrote the book ‘The Field’. She created greater awareness of the zero point field that may otherwise not have been disclosed to the public at large. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in new zero point discoveries and the astonishing role human consciousness plays in this field. For paranormal and psychic phenomenon, there is now a scientific basis for study. (2) One of the first magazines covering the zero point field at length is Ode which appears in the US and the Netherlands. The article about the zero point field appeared in the November 2003 issue, no 61. (3) A Sea of Energy Princeton University’s John Wheeler and Richard Feynman valued the zero point energy for the first time. They calculated that a cup of zero point energy is enough to bring all the oceans of the world to boiling point. The equivalent in matter of the zero point energy using Einstein’s famous equation of E= m * c² is 10⁹⁴ gram/cm³! This is more matter per cubic centimetre than the total mass of the entire universe! Contrary to what we have always believed matter is not a condensed substance but a diffuse form of energy. (4) Now how is this possible, we seem to live in a huge sea of energy and we don’t even notice it? We’re like fish submerged in water but never ever aware of the fact that there is water all around them. Haisch and Rueda contributed to the zero point field using Hal Puthoff’s work, by proving Newton’s famous law of inertia which states that inertia is the product of mass and acceleration, F= m * a. This old law that Newton took as an assumption, an axiom in his Principia, the holy bible of classical physics, could never be proven in the last three hundred years! But by taking account of the zero point field, Rueda and Haisch proved that inertia is simply the resistance, the drag that objects experience when accelerated in the zero point field. |
