OK - this may be even a little further out of the box than my norm but have often wondered how the Puthoff atomic model of a balanced ground state orbit takes radioactivity into account.
If the ZPE falls short of pushing the orbit up to a stable radius such that it fluctuates between different stable states does this model radioactive decay in the atom? Could we instead be seeing a relativistic mechanism that "relieves" this ZPE imbalance (preventing decay) and letting the atom remain stable at the lower radius? Could the different methods Jones and others have proposed exploit changes in vacuum suppression to provide an opportunity for unstable atoms to transfer this excess away and remain stable? My point being that energy should be just as available through preventing or at least delaying decay as opposed to allowing it, even if, said mechanism is only available under exotic conditions.

If the energy from the ZPE is being replenished by Te125m, decaying to Te125 (stable), then you need some Te125m to start off with. However this isotope has a half life of only 57 days, so there isn't any in nature. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
