Quantum mechanics never really explains why this does not happen Zero point energy does. According to Puthoff’s theory, electrons do radiate their energy away as they circle in their orbits. But they also absorb enough energy from vacuum fluctuatlons to makeup for the loss. Calculations presented in Physical Review appear to back him up. Says Puthoff, It seems that the stability of matter itself depends on the zero point energy sea Puthoff‘s next Physical Review paper was even more daring. It attempted to rewrite the theory of gravity proposed by Einstein himself. Einstein described gravity as a warping of space-time caused by the mass of objects within it Puthoff says. To understand Einstein’s version, imagine the fabric of space-time as a taut rubber diaphragm. Place any given weight in the diaphragm and it makes an indentation. Roll a marble onto the diaphragm. No matter how the marble is rolled, it ultimately winds up at the weight. This, according to Einstein, is how gravity works, Objects bend space-time just as the weight bends the rubber diaphragm, so two objects roll together with a force that depends on the objects mass and distance. This shows how gravity acts Puthoff says, but doesn’t really explain the mechanism behind it That’s where zero point energy comes in. If two physical bodies are relatively close, he theorizes, the first shields the second from zero point energy coming from its direction in a similar fashion, the second object will shield the first. The objects will nonetheless continue to be pressured by zero point energy coming from all other directions. The two bodies thus move toward each other in what scientrsts have dubbed the Casimir effect, named after Hendrik B. G. Casrmir, the Dutch physicist who first described the phenomenon. Gravity is the result, according to Puthoff. It is the Casimrr effect, Puthoff believes, that may help us extract zero point energy from the void. Puthoff gives an example Bring two smooth metal plates extremely close together, he explains, and they seem to attract each other so strongly that they are virtually welded to each other. Move them still closer and they collide with a metaphorical boom, generating enormous heat. Use that heat energy, and the conversion of vacuum energy to usable energy has occurred. This scheme, first proposed by veteran California physicist Robert Forward in Physical Review, has a problem Once the plates collide, they can no longer be used to generate energy, becoming a sort of one-shot device. To recycle the generator Puthoff explains, one would have to return the plates to therr original positions that would require as much energy as the machine produced in the first place. As a result, not even break-even operation could be achieved |
