Discuss. Just try and give to things; the 'whys' and the 'why nots'.

Can someone plase explain to me what this exactly is (or at least the concept of it). I am very confused about what this exactly means. Sorry.

Zero point energy is an electromagnetic radiation that exists everywhere in the univerese. It is regarded as the force that keeps electrons in orbit around the nuclei of atoms and planets in orbit around their stars.
Physasists believe that it is a vast limitless energy source that could one day make the energy of an atomic bomb look like a firecracker.
One scientists has even said "If i take my hand and cover a glass, there is enough zero point energy trapped within the glass to evaporate all the worlds oceons!!".
Scientists believe that breakthroughs in zero point energy may one day make technologies like hyperspace travel, teleportation and maybe even time travel possible.

Some remain skeptical though Rajpal, because specualtion is ahead of equations. This is right on the cutting edge. I'm doing some more study and I'l get back to this!

Thats true, but then science is often based on speculation until the technology to prove it is developed.

thats true, if you think various people had suggested that other elements should exist giving their weights proton numbers and chemical properties before we had the ability to detect them.
