ZPE seems to be in defiance of what is earthly and that which obeys the 'laws' and
generalizations postulated and tested by humans throughout this age of technological
development.  Getting something for nothing is a difficult thing to conceptualize.
But perhaps there may very well be a cost, [when the means necessary to unleash this
ubiquitous energy source is discovered.]  Is anyone familiar with contemporary
research on Zero Point Energy?

Thank you,
