The energy of the zero point

In some places they call it zp energy, it is also called vacuum energy, it is a manifestation of quantum mechanics according to this theory. Even the apparent vacuum of space suffers quantum fluctuations giving rise to energy fields that contain energy.

This energy is not observed on the macroscopic scale, at least in a normal way, but its theoretical existence has fundamental implications in physics. I say not in a normal way because on a macroscopic scale its effect is illustrated when two metal plates approach each other in a vacuum. The zero point energy generates an attractive force between them due to the fluctuations of the quantum fields.

This phenomenon has been confirmed experimentally, it is not something theoretical or simulated, it is something real and it is proof of the existence of that zero point energy, the question is why don't we take advantage of all that energy that is everywhere and that In principle it is infinite, because at a macroscopic level these quantum fluctuations average to zero, which is why it is called zero point, which explains why we do not perceive it as real energy in our everyday environment.

From a practical point of view it does not make sense because there is no exchange of energy between different bodies or particles, taking into account that energy, at least as we conceive it, is something that allows things to be transformed, when I say we conceive it I mean it practical level of moving a car or generating electricity.

If this entire system is at point zero, the point of minimum energy, then there can be no transfer of energy from one place to another, that is the question since this would imply that there would be places where the energy would be less than the minimum and that cannot be It could be because there cannot be less than the minimum, so it would be a contradiction that is why we cannot use it on a daily basis, even this does not mean that we seek to take advantage of this energy in some way, even if it is with a side effect of it. , for example, to levitate.

NASA and British Aerospace have research programs with the aim of using zero point energy as a form of propulsion, but things are very green and the results without a revolutionary discovery seem to be very far away, the revolutionary discovery Keep in mind that in science and technology things do not have to go step by step, there can be a brutal leap that breaks, that opens a window, that opens a new path, a continent to explore.

For example, the topic of Aviation until the arrival of combustion engines, Aviation was reduced or those who had researched Aviation could only go so far as to create gliders, gliders made of fabric, wood and ropes, this is what I believe more or less. less an Andalusian wise man in the Middle Ages, it is also what Leonardo created and it is what Otto Lilientha, a German engineer, and others who created gliders created, they did not have an engine to propel them and thus be able to fly, they only managed to glide.

With Los Lobos aerostatic things already changed a little, but an engine was needed to be able to direct them if you were not at the mercy of the wind, things changed radically when engines were developed, in fact, if we look at the first airplanes they do not differ Many of Leonardo's models, technically yes and aesthetically too, but they are built with the same elements, they were wood, fabrics and ropes and Leonardo had also invented a propeller so if Leonardo had seen that there was a path in that direction he surely would have been able to eh, also apply the propeller that I knew to that glider that I had, but of course it didn't have an engine, the fundamental difference was the engine.

Without a revolutionary discovery, this issue of zero-point energy propulsion may take a long time.
