Is There Something For Nothing?

Posted October 10, 2006 6:00 AM
Pathfinder Tags: quantum particles zero-point energy

We would all like a free lunch, but when it comes to energy, the fundamental laws of physics set the barrier impossibly high. Or do they? This article from Science a Go Go discusses various ideas regarding zero-point energy – the spontaneous creation and destruction of the quantum particles that exist in any vacuum. What about waste though? Antimatter refuse disposal might be a problem!
