Note that if ZPE exists, then it has always existed and interacted with every experiment ever done. IOW the conservation laws were developed in an environment in which the ZPE existed, so one might expect that it's effects are already "built in", except perhaps under extremely exceptional circumstances. Those circumstances would need to be determined if one expects an exception in this case. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
