Zero Point Energy



What is Zero Point Energy? Thanks to quantum mechanics and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we know that the absolute position and velocity of any particle cannot be simultaneously definable.




So even at a temperature of absolute zero, any substance must have a certain minimum energy. This energy is referred to as zero-point energy (ZPE). 




There have been speculations that usable energy might be extracted using ZPE but this is almost certainly pseudoscience.




Lambeth Palace declined to comment.
