zero-point energy?

Question

what do we know abou it?

I've even seen machines in the web. is it possible?

Answer 1

You mean other than the fact that Syndrome used it to toss the Incredibles around? Here, let Wiki explain it:

"In physics, the zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may possess; it is the energy of the ground state of the system. All quantum mechanical systems have a zero point energy. The term arises commonly in reference to the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator and its null oscillations. In quantum field theory, it is a synonym for the vacuum energy, an amount of energy associated with the vacuum of empty space. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is taken to be the origin of the cosmological constant. Experimentally, the zero-point energy of the vacuum leads directly to the Casimir effect, and is directly observable in nanoscale devices.

Because zero point energy is the lowest possible energy a system can have, this energy cannot be removed from the system.

Despite the definition, the concept of zero-point energy, and the hint of a possibility of extracting "free energy" from the vacuum, has attracted the attention of amateur inventors. Numerous perpetual motion and other pseudoscientific devices, often called free energy devices, exploiting the idea, have been proposed. As a result of this activity, and its intriguing theoretical explanation, it has taken on a life of its own in popular culture, appearing in science fiction books, games and movies" [See source.]

So you see, it's the stuff that scifi (like the Incredibles) is made of.

One of the effects I've personally conjured up is what I call the "null universe." This is the unobservable universe lying outside our own, observable universe.

I call it the null universe because it lacks even zero point energy. Since our universe has an energy level above that of the null universe, work is being done on our universe. This conclusion stems from W = Fd, which is the classic equation for work; where W is the zero point energy of our known universe and it is moving our universe some d distance with a force of F.

Since we know that F = Ma; where M is the mass of the known universe, we see that the universe must have some acceleration (a) since it has at least zero point energy. This follows from W = Mad and W/Md = a. There is no energy in the null universe; so there is nothing opposing the W from our universe. Acceleration of the expansion of our universe has been measured, it exists and is consistent with my null universe hypothesis.
