"Data's best theory is that these lines have something to do with zero-point energy extraction."

Evidence for such zero-point energy is observed in the Casimir effect.

And that's apparently nothing compared to zero-point energy, whatever that is."

In particular, one may ask how the zero-point energy depends on the shape s of the cavity.

The electromagnetic field has therefore a zero-point energy, and a lowest quantum state.

The concept of zero-point energy occurs in a number of situations.

I believe it may be a zero-point energy collector."

The uncertainty principle requires every physical system to have a zero-point energy greater than the minimum of its classical potential well.

Skeptics usually dismiss efforts to harness zero-point energy by default.

This shift reflects the differing Zero-point energy for the affected bonds.

Zero-point energy is fundamentally related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

The differential sail was another speculative proposal, which appealed to the zero-point energy field.

The experimentally measured Lamb shift has been argued to be, in part, a zero-point energy effect.

If we ignore the zero-point energy then the levels are evenly spaced at :

For example, liquid helium does not freeze under atmospheric pressure at any temperature because of its zero-point energy.

In ordinary quantum mechanics, the zero-point energy is the energy associated with the ground state of the system.

If the zero-point energy is not zero, the vacuum self-energy is real.

If in the future the unlimited resources of zero-point energy ever become available, transwarp propulsion indeed might be feasible.

The zero-point energy also has important implications in quantum field theory and quantum gravity.

These vacancies are caused by zero-point energy, which also causes them to move from site to site as waves.

As a scientific concept, the existence of zero-point energy is not controversial although the ability to harness it is.

In quantum theory, zero-point energy is a minimum energy below which a thermodynamic system can never go.

In fact, quantum physics predicts that all of space itself is an intrinsic "sea" of zero-point energy.

One obvious difficulty with this association is that the zero-point energy of the vacuum is absurdly large.

A system at absolute zero still possesses quantum mechanical zero-point energy, the energy of its ground state.
