Gnorts, Vorts!
Let us suppose that my guess is wrong and permanent magnets are not ZPE
pumps. Of course, it is undisputed that the primary source of the PM
field is electron spin with secondary and tertiary contributions from
orbital rotation and nuclear spin. Shall we explore another
possibility?
Tests of Bell's theorem have pretty much proven the concept of
entanglement and put to rest EPR's local realism. If, at the moment of
the big bang, all electrons had positron mates then would they not
remain entangled? "But whence the missing antimatter," you might ask.
That one will have to wait because I have not finished Susskind's book.
:-)
Let us suppose the positrons reside in Oz. Indeed, it might be that
there is an "entanglement space" that looks like a ball of yarn after
my new Maine Coon kitty has played with it. This space would be
composed of all the umbilical cords which tie the entangled particles.
Here's my point (with many dancing angels): electron spin could move
energy between Kansas and Oz. More if this congeals.
