79 | Zero Point Energy

A vacuum at absolute zero seeths with energy. What is this energy and what effects does it have?

Wonderful as always, Dr. Stott. I feel blessed to have discovered your work. May it reach far and wide.

[TheMwinnett]

Wonderful and enlightening. Ah the simplicity in Christ. Thanks again.

[roysammons]

They can't have it both ways... Oh hang on, they do 😳.
Another fantastic video Dr Stott 🙂👍

[DGLsuperjoe]

Barry Setterfield has done a tremendous amount of work on ZPE. Very interesting work in plasma physics.

Dr. Stott, I have been scrounging for information on zero-point energy and this video is some of the most lucid and rational I've found on the subject (read: there's a lot of hogwash out there). Thank you!

[technicianbis]

Thanks philip, heri poincare came upwith e=mc2, thanks for including that as i had forgotten it. Also thanks again for your time and effort in making these videos.
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

1:11 "It seems that the vacuum and empty space must be the same thing." I see what you did there 🙂. But you know where else you can find a roiling sea of virtual particles? Everywhere. In the dirt in your garden, in a garden hose, in your left pinky finger, in the air you breathe, in the center of a star. Every place in the universe that is a place -- that is, all points of space whether they are in a vacuum or not -- are places where virtual particles can and do (presumably) pop in and out of existence. We know it happens in the center of every atom. It's how protons and neutrons stick together inside the nucleus. The energy of carried by those force carrying virtual particles is responsible for most of the mass of an atom!

Equivocating "vacuum" and "space" isn't much of a problem in this video but in video 78, when we're talking about satellites, space can mean "outer space". And outer space is largely a vacuum, except that at the altitudes the space shuttle was flying, there was enough air to create atmospheric drag that had to be dealt with. So "outer space" in that video wasn't a pure vacuum. And in the last video, the satellite was actively being towed through the ionosphere, which is a part of Earth's atmosphere too. So they weren't getting energy from empty space or from a true vacuum (this was not the "vacuum energy" at all). And depending on definitions, they weren't getting energy from outer space. They were getting energy from electrons in the atmosphere.

Another excellent post my brother. 1984 dublespeak from the scientific community: "There is no ether, we are extracting energy from the ether, but it does not exist!!"
Just as in that very same novel they changed the definitions of common words, father does not mean father, son does not mean son, begotten does not mean begotten, greater does not mean greater etc, get my drift??
But a great video, thanks.

08:50 Funny how they can say that zero point energy is only "theoretical" and yet say they are now absolutely certain of what is in a black hole, even though they have multiple theories on it. Seems convenient for them. Thanks brother Philip. Fascinating! 🙂✝️🙏

Interesting. Thank you. "Let there be light, and light existed."

Speaking things into existance ... or speaking Jesus into conception to be both fully God and fully human... makes perfect sense to me now.

[douglasstrother]

How does one extract energy from a ground state since there are no lower states to transition into?

[johfc]

I wonder is it Zero Point Energy, the aether, or the "non-vacuum" of deep space that is responsible for the apparent red shift of light from very distant objects as it interacts? Rather than the expanding universe, light has some interaction as if in a medium rather than a "vacuum"?

[BrettCoryell]

6:36 "But physicists accept the zero point field and it has exactly the properties of the aether." One way people get confused is by not being careful with their terms. Which aether are you talking about?

There is a term called the "luminiferous aether." This was proposed as an explanation for how light waves could travel through space but it has properties that are impossible, such as being liquid and rigid at the same time. Physicists reject that the luminiferous aether even exists and they certainly don't accept that the zero point field has the same properties.

There is the way Einstein used the term aether, meaning the properties of space that allow light to travel. Namely that time and space are intimately connected, that the geometry of spacetime is malleable and affected by energy (and mass), and that there is nothing "ponderable" about it that can serve as a privileged frame of reference. This is not what people mean by the zero point field either.

But if you want to introduce yet another way of using the word aether (please don't), then you would have to mean something like "all the properties of space that have to do with quantum mechanics." If that's what you're after then okay. I don't think many people use the word that way, but since the zero point energy field comes from quantum mechanics then this way of using the word isn't much of a revelation.

[seaknightvirchow]

Thank you for such lucid reviews. I have read that Casimir effect demonstrates that ZPE is real and enormous yet we are to believe it has no effect on physical processes. Of all the various sites that critique evolutionary assumption, this one is utterly unique in digging out so many experimental facts that are contrary to dogma.

[twinsoultarot]

Okay so the Aether interacts with billions of photons like every second.

[maciejnajlepszy]

Dr Stott, is the aether reason of gravitation? Do aether molecules push matter and imitate attractive force?

[BrettCoryell]

2:01 "Space is filled with waves of electromagnetic energy..." I believe you're previewing the Stochastic Electrodynamics you'll mention later in the video. This isn't far from the standard view that most physicists accept, which is called "quantum field theory." I thought I would explain the standard view, for any seekers of truth.

In quantum field theory, there is an electromagnetic field everywhere in space. And by space, I mean everywhere that is somewhere, not just outer space or empty space. But there are other fields too. There is a strong field that carries the "strong" force. A weak field that carries the "weak" force, a Higgs field that carries the "Higgs interaction", and so forth.

Instead of waves, which are detectable in theory, the standard version says there are "perturbations in the field" and the value of those perturbations is given by the Schrodinger equation. As each type of field is "perturbed" over time, the field changes and the analogy to a wave is understandable, but they aren't actual waves in the material world. Like the video says, wherever we see perturbations change or overlap in certain ways, that's how we get what look to us like particles. The point being that the waves aren't real and it's not just electromagnetism.

I’d like to know where we come up with the names for this stuff…… what does zero mean? Zero point energy, zero means exactly what it has means and what it has always meant, none, nothing, nadda….

[victoriasakkidis]

Pardon my French, but I fucken loved it…..
