explain the existence of paranormal phenomena such as UFOs, ghosts,
poltergeists, mysterious apparitions, time anomalies, and psychic
abilities such as ESP, telekinesis, and remote viewing.
UFOs and the Zero Point Field:
You Can Get Here From There
by Marie D. Jones
Most ufologists agree that alien spacecraft must be using a highly
advanced technology or propulsion system to move them across vast
distances in short periods of time. Quantum physics may hold the answer to
how they are getting “here from there,” and that answer just might be the
Zero Point Field (ZPF).
Nothing exists in a vacuum. The concept of empty space has been
shattered by the discovery of an infinite field of teeming activity, where
tiny electromagnetic fields continuously fluctuate, even when temperatures
reach absolute zero. A field where nothing, literally, is impossible
because even at zero baseline values, there is something; quantum
fluctuations or “jiggles” that cannot be measured, yet permeate every inch
of space.
A field that, if tapped into, might possibly produce enough energy to
power the entire planet for a long, long time…and send a spaceship or two
across the galaxy at near-light-speed to boot.
The Zero Point Field.
The ZPF is made up of Zero Point Energy (ZPE), a literal sea of energy
that we swim in, like fish in the ocean, unaware of the vastness of our
surroundings. ZPE was first suggested in the early years of quantum
mechanics, when physicist Paul Dirac theorized that the vacuum of space
was instead filled with particles in negative energy states. These
particles were predicted to materialize for brief periods, and exert a
measurable force. This force was predicted in 1948 by Dutch physicist
Hendrik B.G. Casimir. The Casimir Effect is a weak, but measurable force
between two separate objects, like two metallic plates hanging parallel to
one another, which occurs due to the resonance in the space between the
objects. This force can only be detected when the two plates are very
close to one another, and the effect diminishes as the distance between
the two plates increases. This force indicates a change in the
electromagnetic field between the two plates.
The Casimir Effect proved the existence of ZPE, certainly in a
scientific sense. As far back as 1911, Max Planck, Albert Einstein and
Otto Stern were researching ZPE, and in 1916, Walther Nernst formally
proposed that empty space was filled with this field of zero-point
electromagnetic radiation. Nobel Prize winner Willis Lamb was the first to
measure the discrepancy between calculated and measured energy levels of
hydrogen gas in an excited state, which lead to a greater understanding of
vacuum field fluctuations and the development of quantum electrodynamics
and the concept of zero point energy.
In the Zero Point Field, particles pop in and out of existence,
creating a “foam” of virtual particles that makes up empty space. Based
upon the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that the more
accurately we can know the position of a moving particle, the less
accurately we can measure its momentum, and also states that no quantum
object can ever truly be completely at rest, the electromagnetic
fluctuations of ZPE fill every corner of space, every nook and cranny, and
are never at a state of absolute zero momentum, but instead vibrate at the
most minute rate of oscillation allowable by the laws of quantum physics.
Thus, the tiny residual ”jiggle.” As it is the lowest state possible
for energy to possess, the ZPF can only be visually detected in
experiments like the Casimir Effect. But were we to somehow magically
remove all matter and energy above the zero-point state that exists in
space, what would be left is the ZPF.
The most fascinating promise of the ZPF is its potential as an infinite
source of energy, one that modern-day physicists like Hal Puthoff believe
may one day propel space craft to distant parts of our universe.
Ufologists believe alien civilizations far in advance of our own are
already using the ZPF, harnessing the unlimited field of energy as they
literally shoot across amazing distances without ever having to stop “for
gas.”
The ZPF is estimated to be massive, even infinite, and to exceed
nuclear energy densities, meaning that just a small amount of ZPE could
provide a whole lot of fuel. Science fiction novels and television shows
already hype the ZPF as a powerful source for creating everything from
“Star Trek’s” quantum torpedoes to “Stargate SG-1’s” modules made from the
field that can allow intergalactic space travel.
Although currently we can only measure minute amounts of ZPE levels,
physicists like Puthoff believe we can achieve the technology to one day
tap the field in much bigger ways. And the aerospace industry seems to
believe we can achieve that, too. A March 2004 article in Aviation Week
and Space Technology titled “To The Stars” stated that two large aerospace
companies, and one U.S. Defense Dept. agency are betting on ZPE, launching
bold research projects exploring the potential energy source. Puthoff
stated in the article that the potential is “practically limitless, way
beyond what can be conceived.” But he points to the need to first design a
viable way to extract the energy from the Zero Point Field, a process that
as of yet remains utterly inefficient at producing more energy than “a
butterfly’s wing.”
There is also a yet-to-be-found catalyst that would “ignite the ZPE
process.”
This “new physics” of the Zero Point Field could one day take us to the
nearest planet in a matter of weeks instead of years. As a method of
propulsion, the sky is literally the limit, thus the intense interest in
the ZPF by NASA and both government and private industries.
But intense interest in the ZPF and its potential for powering
spacecraft was not limited to U.S. agencies, nor was it limited to the
last three decades. In “The Hunt for Zero Point,” author and Jane’s
Defence Weekly aviation editor Nick Cook documents the Nazis’ intense
interest in antigravity and Zero Point Energy. This potentially limitless
source of power intrigued scientists in Nazi Germany, who were later
brought over to live and do their research in the United States as part of
Operation Paperclip. These scientists believed in ZPE as not just an
energy source for fueling rockets and planes, but as the potential
material for a powerful bomb.
Cook chronicles the quest to control gravity and take to the stars at
speeds near or surpassing that of light. Military, aerospace and corporate
interest in ZPE has been heated since the 1940s on both sides of the
Atlantic, beginning with the concepts of “electrogravitic lift” of Thomas
Townsend Brown, an inventor who, in 1929, wrote a paper called “How I
Control Gravitation” to accompany his own creation – an electrical
condenser he called the “Gravitor.” This device was a type of motor that
utilized the principles of electro-gravitation, and led to Brown
developing the ideal shape for electro-gravitational lift – the disc. This
was in the 1920’s, when the aviation industry was still trying to get a
fighter plane over 160 mph.
Brown’s research would lay the foundation for his later work with the
Naval Research Laboratory, where he would be assigned to work on
experiments with acoustics and minesweeping. But he would during that time
invent a method for canceling a ship’s magnetic field, a critical element
in wartime, and would later be linked to the notorious Philadelphia
Experiment, which supposedly involved the disappearance of a naval warship
and its crew into another dimension.
Brown went to demonstrate his Gravitor and flying discs to military
officials eager to grasp the potential of defying gravity and eventually
he established is own research foundation, continuing to pitch the
military on his amazing disc technology.
Even the Nazis and their brilliant scientists were at work on
antigravity technology, which Cook believes might account for the “foo
fighters” so often spotted by Allied pilots during World War Two, and of
course, the United States was forced to keep pace, doing their own black
budgeted research. Other nations would step into the fray, with Russian,
Finnish and British scientists all searching for a method of not just
controlling gravity, but overcoming, or nullifying, it altogether.
Much of the groundwork into antigravity and ZPE had been laid by the
likes of T.T. Brown, and German scientists working for the Third Reich
(both voluntarily and involuntarily), such as Viktor Schauberger, who had
built an unconventional machine in the early 1940s that generated lift,
dubbed the “fleigende scheibe,” or “flying saucer.” The craft would later
be dubbed the “Repulsine,” and would be one of many prototypes created and
tested under the Nazi flag.
ZPE research would fall into a kind of black hole of its own for the
next few decades, with little public information and even less government
admittance that it was even a serious pursuit. But documents recently
declassified, and investigative reporting like Cook’s would reveal a
continuing interest at NASA and other government agencies, all of which
were spearheading (including financially supporting) the work of various
researchers. Russian intelligence agents also showed interest in the
lifter technology of Viktor Schauberger, suggesting their own ongoing
black program into antigravity.
UFO sightings would be linked with the disc technology of the Nazis,
and when America made their power grab of the German technology after the
war, many ufologists would wonder just how many UFOs were from “out
there,” and how many were from “down here,” like the recently declassified
Project Silverbug, a supersonic saucer being developed by the United
States Air Force. Silverbug was rather conventional, being a jet-powered
vehicle, but for the Americans, it was an attempt to develop prototypes
closer to what the SS had been developing before the end of the war.
Today, physicists studying the ZPF and its energy believe we are
nowhere near understanding how to extract and large amounts of Zero Point
Energy for such uses as heating our homes and fueling our cars and planes.
Yet, research is going on now that may come up with viable ways to tap
into this repository of ground energy states and virtual particles that,
according to physicist Richard Feynman, could contain enough energy in
just one single cubic meter of space to boil the world’s oceans. That’s a
lot of energy. And if the ZPF is indeed as infinite as space itself, the
energy will never run out. Unlike fossil fuels, this field of energy will
be constantly self-regenerating. In fact, Puthoff calls the ZPF a
“self-regenerating grand ground state of the universe.”
Research into the ZPF also shows its ability to affect gravity, and the
ZPF may possibly be the missing link in the quest to bring together the
four fundamental forces of gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and
strong nuclear forces, and give theoretical physicists their long
sought-after Theory of Everything. ZPE spacecraft could also potentially
solve the two main space travel problems of speed and fuel supply. The
quantum fluctuations of ZPE must first be extracted from the vacuum, and
engineering a machine effective enough to do so is the only thing many
physicists believe stands in the way of human space travel beyond our
wildest dreams. It is certainly feasible that advanced alien technology
has already found a way to extract the ZPE, and according to the
documented research of Nazi interest in the subject matter, we may be able
to one day duplicate it beyond just lifting a disk a few feet off the
ground in a lab. Delving deeper into the Casimir Effect might hold the
key.
ZPE and antigravity both offer tantalizing methods of UFO propulsion,
but the ZPE also holds the immediate appeal as a cheaper fuel source for a
world “addicted to oil.” Some investigative researchers such as Jim Marrs,
author of “Alien Agenda” and “Rule By Secrecy” suggest that these
alternative technologies lack the funding and attention they require
because of the monopolies of interest, such as oil and gas companies, that
would suffer from the discovery of such abundant and cheap fuel sources
being made available to the public. Marrs is also quick to note that
antigravity and the ZPF might explain the many UFO sightings involving
automobile engines stopping and starting up again, and other such examples
of the manipulation of energy reported by UFO witnesses all over the
world.
Hal Puthoff, in an interview with “Fortean Times,” also speculated that
someday the ZPE could be used in the process of water desalinization, as
well as reducing dependency on fossil fuels. It may also play a role in
heating homes, and if a process is found to convert this energy into
electrical form, Puthoff suggests we may one day have batteries that far
outlast the Energizer Bunny in longevity!
The great thing about using ZPE as a fuel source for skipping across
space is that your ship doesn’t have to slow down and “stop for gas” along
the way to another universe, as the fuel source is always available as you
flit along, and the ship itself would be free from carrying a weighty
amount of fuel to slow it down. But Puthoff pointed out to Fortean Times
that a UFO could also possibly use ZPE as a means for “the perturbation of
the space-time metric,” and suggests ZPE might also account for natural
atmospheric anomalies that some people mistake for UFOs, such as ball
lightning.
Not all physicists are jumping on the ZPE bandwagon. Professor Steven
Weinberg, in an interview with Scientific American’s “Ask the Scientist”
series, referred to the law of conservation of energy, which tells us that
if we get energy out of empty space, we must leave it in a condition of
lower energy. What, he asks, could have lower energy than empty space? But
Puthoff, appearing in that same interview series, cites modern research
that shows that a vacuum state such as the ZPF can have different energy
values, and can even decay to a state of lower energy under specific
conditions.
Though lab experiments with ZPE have shown results on a small scale,
with further research and funding Puthoff hopes that within the next
decade, “we will either be confident that it is only a matter of time and
engineering, or it will reveal it self to be only a laboratory phenomenon
without the possibility of constituting a major energy resource.” He
compares attempts to harness ZPE to a “long list of harnessing energetic
processes we find in our natural environment.”
For our alien friends eager to visit our planet or just do a quick
fly-by, the ZPF is like a superhighway of energy that might just be the
preferred mode of fuel for civilizations that have already found
extraction methods. Only time and a lot of cutting edge research will tell
if we will one day be able to do the same.
