Lead scientists offer hints of vast energy Date: Saturday, June 13, 2009 @ 23:31:10 UTC Topic: Science
A series of recent
lectures given by some of the UK's leading scientists under the
auspices of the Institute of Physics have all mentioned the fact that
around 75 per cent of equivalent mass of the universe is made up of
"Dark Energy", and that this energy is almost certainly what some call,
"The energy of the vacuum field" or "Zero point energy" and dropping
hints that it is worth investigating further just in case we can use it.
When I undertook my
undergraduate studies in Natural Sciences many years ago, I remember
being told that there was no possible way of extracting it. However, it
seems to be powerful enough to driving clusters of galaxies apart and
also does things on the very small scale, see link below from the
Rutherford Appleton Laboratory...
