In the current view of things, it’s not the ZPE, it’s the Higgs field that produces mass. How does the Higgs field and gravity interact, and general relativity, energy, not to mention the other force carriers?
Here is one opinion http://www.spacetime-model.com/higgsboson/index.htm Does anybody know if this Higgs interaction question is all worked out yet?
