| O MNI M AGAZINE Imagine a world in which endless, nonpolluting, and virtually free energy powers our cities, cars, and homes. Envision laptop computers more powerful than today’s largest, most sophisticated mainframes, and tiny X-ray machines that can enter the body and kill tumors without harming surrounding cells. All this and more maybe possible within the next ten years, according to physicist Hal Puthoff, currently with the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, Texas. The source of these marvels Something Puthoff calls zero point energy - the abundant power that he says can be found in the vacuum of space. Puthoff’s articles on the subject have been published in the prestigious Physical Review. And he has attracted heavy-hitting business associates, including Ken Shoulders, the man credited with developing much of the technology for microcircuits, as well as superrich Texas entrepreneur Bill Church. Rumor has It that their new company, Jupiter Technologies, may soon try to manufacture zero point energy machines. There’s more Zero point energy could be the Rosetta stone of physics, explain everything from gravity to atoms to the origin of the cosmos itself. Ina sense, Puthoff's search for order in the universe started 20 years ago, when he was a freshly minted PhD. from Stanford University. One day, the physicist now explains, he was thinking about tachyons, hypothetical particles that appear to travel backward in time. If the particles existed, he reasoned, they might be the "missing link" that allowed psychics -- if they were not frauds -- to intuit events at distant locations or future times. Puthoff sought funding to study the problem and wound up as head of anew parapsychology research program at the Standford Research Institute, now known as SRI International. Studying telekinesis and ESP was intriguing, Puthoff says. Yet in 1985, after 13 years at SRI, Puthoff was ready to make a change. Enter Bill Church. An ex-math major from the University of Texas, Church dropped out of college when his father died. By the mid-Eighties, the trim, personable entrepreneur had made millions with a regional chain of friend- chicken restaurants. Eager for new challenges, the energetic Church vowed to spend hrs wealth promoting the kind of high-risk, potentially high-payoff research that government and corporate bureaucrats were too unimaginative to fund.
