"SOMETHING FROM NOTHING" REVISITED 1) the concept of aether/ZPE; 2) creation of energy from nothing; 3) thermodynamics; 4) conversion. two dielectric plates, and erroneously described as an "attraction"—as extracted from my Rectifying Chaos file: "The Casimir force is a short-range attraction between any two objects, caused by...electromagnetic fluctuations in the vacuum. ...any two plates, whether con- ductor or dielectrics, would experience a fourth power force law...also proportional to the dielectric constant of the plates. ost mainstreamers have the erro- neous conception that alternative science fans, experimenters and researchers are looking to "create some- thing from nothing" in order to provide power necessary to run their perpetual motion machines or free energy devices. The majority of people I know and com- municate with are seeking one thing: a working free energy or gravity control device—something we all can see, test, build (or buy) and use to make all of our lives easier. The "Lost Aether" (now called Zero Point Energy or ZPE) Purists prefer the term "aether", but I think the term should be used interchange- ably with the newer "ZPE", also called "the spacetime metric" or "vacuum energy". It is spelled with an "a" to avoid confusion with the chemical ether. (Much like the popular "Brown's gas", which was essentially stolen from Dr Rhodes who patented it in 1966 and has continued with additional research, I think the cleanest, most rational thing to do at this late stage is to call it "hydroxy gas", as used during World War II and earlier.) Because of such confusions, I choose to use the term "aether" in combination to form "aether/ZPE", and so include the old and the new.

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." — Lord Kelvin President, Royal Society, 1895 — Ken Olsen President, Chairman & Founder Digital Equipment Corp., 1977 "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." "The equations are only valid down to a separation distance proportional to the min- imum wavelength at which the plates are still a good conductor, or the dielectric con- stant is not unity. For distances closer than that...attractive force will...increase...at a rate proportional to the third power of the separation distance... "The closest separation distance... [that has been attained is 14 angstroms] (about five atoms) with two crossed cylinders of mica... ",..the measured force between the two mica cylinders was over ten tons per square metre!" — Lord Kelvin President, Royal Society, 1895 "Il think there is a world market for maybe five computers." — Thomas Watson Chairman, IBM, 1943 "Il think there is a world market for maybe five computers." It gets ever more tedious having to explain and correct people who write or call in, calling me and others who think along similar lines "flakes", "fools", "idiots" or other choice insults. They aven't bothered to study the very subjects they are ranting against. They haven't othered to ask questions, follow any dis- cussions or read any documents relating to the subject. Yet they have no problem writing rude or insulting letters, full of ad hominem attacks, believing themselves to e the possessor of all that is right and true. Where does the error lie? I've often thought of writing up a web age, explaining it in terms and analogies the "critics" can understand, so that is what this page is attempting to do. This paper is intended to address four ey points which I consider as the basis for all energy production: — Thomas Watson Chairman, IBM, 1943 In a nutshell, aether/ZPE is the energetic "quantum foam" of space. It permeates and . . . sustains the universe. It pops in and out of "The [flying] machine will existence in a ceaseless "jitter", and in its eventually be fast; they will wake produces the effect of gravity, other be used in sport, but they energies and the localisations (precipita- tions of energy) that produce matter.
