Zero Point Energy.... savior or looney toon land ?

[playerfl]

does anybody believe in zero point energy ?

If you don't know what it is do a google and come back.

It seems like something pretty way out, but Tesla had some way out ideas that came true, like radar, energy rays, etc.

I've been accused of being a doom and gloomer, but if this comes to pass it could mean a whole lot of very good things such as a global economic boom and humanity finally moving into space in a big way.

if you throw nanotech in the mix its even better, but that is a whole different thread.

This is old news.

I first heard about it way back in 1977 from some old desert hermit. I think his name was Obi Won Kenobi.

Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic - and this we know it is, for certain - then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.

Nikola Tesla, addressing the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1891
