The energy of the atom or molecule is being fueled by everything around it. It’s impossible to take out all the energy in a quantum system. Zero-point energy is the least amount of energy a system can have inside a vacuum. E=mc^2 equates to: mass is energy. Inside a vacuum includes Boson fields, electromagnetic fields, gauge fields, fermion fields… basically the ground state of all the fields.
Since space is infinite, then the amount of zero-point energy would be infinite. Zero-point energy is free energy, energy contained within the vacuum of space and is undetectable by any traditional means. It's energy that is homogeneous (the same throughout no matter where you are in the universe), and isotropic (the same in every direction and from any viewing angle). There's no way to measure it but experiments in quantum mechanics, theoretical physics, clearly show the existence of an all-pervasive, electromagnetic field referred to as the Zero-point field.
Vacuum is empty space-time. The Lamb Shift (named after Willis Lamb - based on the interaction between the electron and the vacuum causes a tiny energy shift - awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955) and Quantum mechanics shows that the exchange of energy between the vacuum and the charged particles is in fact real and generates real effects. It generates effects in actual material or substance. In the modern quantum mechanical view, what we find is that the vacuum is fiercely active, a fierce energy flux going in all directions at all times. The energy density is estimated by various physicist, as being extremely high. If you took the raw energy in one cubic centimeter and condense it into mass, divided by c squared, you would have more observable mass result from that than our largest telescope can see in the observable universe. This drives everything that we call physical reality, from the quantum level up to the observed level and the observed world that we live in, it's all energetically driven by the vacuum.
Study the "Paleocontact Hypothesis", which suggest that Deities (Gods) from most, if not all religions, were intelligent extraterrestrials. These advanced beings played an influential role in past human affairs. They introduced advanced technical knowledge across the galaxies and assisted humans in building large structures, unique devices, and passed on scientific facts, not yet discovered by primitive man. Their influence, coupled with a celestial and highly evolved consciousness, were mistaken by our archaic ancestors. Their actions were glorified, praised, and hidden, rather than studied. Those few who knew better, instead of proliferating the truth, chose to manipulate the masses via holy books and religion.
Nikola Tesla believed that free energy could be provided to the world by transmitting electric power without wires; power derived from cosmic energy. In 1901, Tesla unfortunately crossed paths with JP Morgan. Tesla's ambitious "Wardenclyffe Tower", aka Tesla Tower, was a wireless transmission tower. The intent of the Tesla Tower was for commercial trans-Atlantic wireless telephony, and wireless power transmission. The tower was demolished in 1917 by Morgan, which left Tesla "penniless and disillusioned." The wealthy industrialist at the time knew that their plans to wire the world with copper would be greatly hindered if they could not control the supply and means of delivery.
Nikola Tesla's goal was to develop technology in harmony with nature (which is what other intelligent life in the universe has been doing for millinea), but this conflicted with the primitive prevailing American attitude at the time, that mankind was put on Earth to subdue and dominate nature. Tesla would be denounced as a "crackpot" and the majority of his work was removed from historical records. When Tesla died in 1943, his scientific papers were seized by US Government agents. If Tesla's genius was recognized, there's no telling what ideas and services our world could benefit from today.
JP Morgan prohibited Tesla from broadcasting electric power overseas without wires, he stated, "if I can't put a meter on it, I can't finance it." This has changed the course of history and we have suffered from this "profit motive" for the past century.
The 11th Hour, a documentary by Leonardo DiCaprio, delves into humanity's precarious relationship with the planet. Directed by Leila Conners Petersen and Nadia Conners, the film combines insights from 50 leading scientists, thinkers, and visionaries, including Stephen Hawking, Mikhail Gorbachev, and sustainable design experts Bruce Mau and William McDonough. Together, they tackle a pressing question: Is it too late to prevent ecological disaster?
The documentary paints a sobering picture of humanity's place in Earth’s history. If the planet's existence were compressed into a single year, humans would have arrived on December 31st, just 15 minutes before midnight. Recorded history would occupy only the final 60 seconds of this metaphorical timeline. This perspective underscores how brief and fragile our presence has been—and how profoundly we’ve altered the planet in such a short span.
At the core of humanity’s ecological crisis is a dangerous misconception: that we are separate from nature. This illusion has fostered the belief that humans are superior to other life forms, granting us dominion over the Earth. In reality, we are not apart from nature; we are nature. This fundamental misunderstanding—viewing ourselves as distinct from the natural world—has led to widespread destruction and imbalance.
Modern society is built on systems that encourage disharmony with the planet. We create sprawling urban environments, explore space, and prioritize economic growth over ecological health. While technological advances and economic systems have their merits, they often come at the cost of neglecting ancient wisdom—insights that once kept us connected to nature. These forgotten truths reminded us that our actions have consequences and that disrespecting the natural world would ultimately bring about our downfall.
Despite mounting evidence of ecological collapse, many governments remain indifferent to the severity of the crisis. Few, including major global powers like the United States, have fully acknowledged or addressed the urgent need for environmental reform. Political agendas, economic greed, and short-term thinking continue to overshadow long-term sustainability.
This disconnection is evident in how we view ourselves as creators of self-contained habitats, seemingly independent of the natural world. We’ve convinced ourselves that we can conquer and control nature, reducing its value to mere resources for human consumption. Yet, this mindset ignores an essential truth: the health of the planet and the health of humanity are inseparable.
The consequences of this arrogance are evident in the environmental disasters unfolding around us—rising temperatures, deforestation, species extinction, and polluted oceans. These crises are not just random occurrences but direct results of humanity’s disregard for nature’s balance. By ignoring the interconnectedness of life, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction.
The documentary emphasizes that while we’ve created this crisis, we also have the tools to address it. The insights of visionaries and experts offer hope and solutions, but meaningful change requires a collective shift in mindset. We must abandon the illusion of separation and embrace a more harmonious relationship with the natural world.
At this critical juncture, humanity must remember the lessons of the past. Ancient cultures understood the delicate balance between human activity and the environment. They recognized that any harm inflicted on the Earth would inevitably return to haunt them. By reviving these lessons and integrating them with modern innovations, we can forge a sustainable path forward.
The 11th Hour is a stark reminder that our time is running out. The choices we make now will determine whether we secure a future for ourselves and the generations to come—or whether we allow the illusion of separation to seal our fate. The question is not whether we can save the planet; it is whether we can save ourselves by reconnecting with the natural world that sustains us.
