The zero sum of energy in the universe was Hawkings idea as I remember - the sum over all histories, including the future. I can't remember if it had any interesting application. Science is often a messy business and very speculative. I was allowed to buy ether at the chemist (for making model aircraft fuel).
Bento is just one of many cases (sadly). The bigger story is the general secrecy and cover-up by overpaid, under-educated careerists who hold us back from real democracy. This is the 'enemy', and something that can be found at the heart of organised religion too. Scientists generally believe bureaucrats should get long prison sentences, at least before we hang them. Scientific arguments are very different from bureaucratic cant; far more different from this than much that can be well-argued about religious experience.
