ES: In the case of ZPE, the form of the energy does not interact with a material. If it did, a lens could be created so that ZPE could be focused and used as a ray of extreme intensity. That obviously is not possible. Therefore, your analogy does not apply. JB: Nothing could be further from the truth, to the extent that Puthoff is the acknowledged expert on ZPE. Why do you not realize that a nanocavity of a certain geometry IS THE LENS ? According to Puthoff, ZPE not only interacts with matter at an intrinsic level, but essentially is responsible for the very structure of matter. The ground-state electron orbital is set and maintained by a dynamic equilibrium in which collapse of the attractive state of negative electron and positive nucleus is prevented by the presence of the zero-point energy. If you doubt this, then your argument is with Hal Puthoff, as I accept completely his viewpoint on this - from which flows the analogy above.
