In conventional quantum physics, the origin of zero-point energy is the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which states that, for a moving particle such as an electron, the more precisely one measures the position, the less exact the best possible measurement of its momentum (mass times velocity), and vice versa. The least possible uncertainty of position times momentum is specified by Planck's constant, h. A parallel uncertainty exists between measurements involving time and energy (and other so-called conjugate variables in quantum mechanics). This minimum uncertainty is not due to any correctable flaws in measurement, but rather reflects an intrinsic quantum fuzziness in the very nature of energy and matter springing from the wave nature of the various quantum fields. This leads to the concept of zero-point energy.

Mr. /Mrs. Blue Bird,
What is your opinion of Mr. Tesla ?
Where do you stand on ZPE ?
Really ?
Please, do elaborate. Such a radical stance can surely be expounded upon.

Thank you for the reply.
I agree that there is much to be learned concerning vacuum's, and the contents therein.
Also, scientists are finding that our "empty" space, ain't so empty.
Tesla had many theories and ideas that are interesting. One of which was
global energy for all. Free and wireless.
Enjoy your stay at ATS, and please don't hate me.

Unfortunetly though i dont see ZPE ever coming out to the mainstream unless we have MASSIVE social change but thats a topic for another thread.

A handful of other companies worldwide are believed also to be pursuing zero-point energy via magnetic systems. One of them, InterStellar Technologies, is run by a former scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
According to Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine, the Pentagon and at least two large aerospace companies are actively researching zero-point energy as a means of propulsion.
"If their efforts pay off," the magazine reported last year, "ZPE-driven power plants might enable Mach 4 fighters, quiet 1,200-seat hypersonic airliners that fly at 100-mile altitudes as far as 12,000 miles in about 70 minutes and 12.6-hour trips to the moon."
