ZISCIENCE|2 APPLIED QUANTUM MECHANICS AS A SOLUTION FOR ENERGY AND POLLUTION PROBLEMS know, radio waves travel through space at the speed of light, regardless of whether we are present here on Earth or in space outside of Earth. In "empty" space, therefore, there must be a kind of medium that enables the propagation of radio waves. On the sea, for example, waves can propagate only because the sea (water) acts as a medium. In the 1920s, physicists developed a theory that explains what kind of a medium could exist in space. This medium is a carrier of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). Since EMFs exist in space, it was decided to divide this field into small packets, or quanta. This gave rise to quantum field theory. In quantum field theory, space is no longer empty but is filled with a virtual form of energy. For this reason, the expression "space" or "space-time" has simply been replaced by another term, "quantum vacuum". In order not to complicate this article unnecessarily, the author uses the term "quantum vacuum" synonymously with the terms "space" and "space-time". The exciting thing about this energy present in this new space is that it already exists in infinite density at every possible point. Naturally, we can now ask why we do not notice this infinite energy which surrounds us all the time. The reason for this is that this energy is distributed very — uniformly (symmetrically). It is the same as if we are diving. When we dive under water to a depth of 20 metres, the water around us exerts a pressure of two bars onto our body. However, we do not notice it because the pressure is distributed uniformly. If 20 metres below water we suddenly had normal air pressure in front of our hand, our hand would probably get torn away. So if we want to perceive pressure, we always need a difference in pressure. The same is also true for the energy in space. As long as the energy is distributed uniformly (i.e., symmetrically), we do not notice it, and this means that the energy exists in a virtual (invisible) form. If we now create a pressure difference (in physics, this is known as "breaking the symmetry"), then the energy which is within space suddenly becomes visible. Breaking the symmetry means converting something virtual into something observable. A typical example of generating a pressure difference in space energy is an electric field. A 1.5-volt battery produces a smaller pressure difference in the space energy than does a 12-volt battery. The stronger the electric field, the stronger the broken symmetry (pressure difference). In quantum mechanics, we even consider a particle like an atom as a broken symmetry or as a difference between two infinite energy densities. We can imagine an atom ora collection of atoms (for instance, the ball of a ballpoint pen) as the tip of an iceberg. When we see an iceberg, we know that the iceberg exists only because below the water surface an invisible, much bigger block of ice exists. This invisible block of ice is permanently busy with pushing the visible tip of the iceberg above water. The energy that pushes the iceberg out of the water on a continuous basis therefore comes from an invisible source. If we now observe the ball of a ballpoint pen, it is like seeing just the tip of the iceberg. onventional energy sources are Cine and are polluting the planet, and still industry and politics continue to bank upon them. Meanwhile, an institute in Munich, Germany, has tapped the free energy in space—as corroborated by an expert opinion—and has also given a quantum-mechanical explanation of the working principle. The common opinion prevails that quantum-mechanical effects exert a visible effect only on the smallest particles, such as atoms. An extended interpretation of quantum electrodynamics has now shown that this need not always be the case. It is proven that the entire visible reality is supplied energetically by space-time or the quantum vacuum. This means that every action within our reality requires a hidden exchange of energy between material "objects" and the energy which is in space. An What is in empty space? There are different models that explain what is present in empty space. One of these models describes space simply as an empty space. This means that here on Earth, nothing other than air is present in space. The space outside of Earth devoid of air would then be absolutely empty. With respect to our daily life, this approach certainly seems to make the most sense. However, if we want to understand how a radio works, then an absolutely empty space is not sufficient.
