Will the Quantum Vacuum be a player in the next top breakthrough of the century?

Question

There seems to be new (albeit controversial) interest in the Vacuum as everything from a renewable source of energy....to a source for the inertial force, mass, and gravity we feel everyday. Will there be such a breakthrough that will change our civilization forever? And will it come from (ironically) what we have always thought was nothing at all?

Answer 1

Once we are capable of harnessing the elusive dark substance in the universe, Quantum vacuum (or Zero Point Energy). Will change the world in a way that not even the discovery of electricity did. Another breakthrough tied to dark matter would also be hyper-space travel. Almost instantaneous travel from Earth to Mars, or to the moon. Or even a weeks long trip to Alpha Centuary.

Answer 2

I think the vacuum may hold a key role in future technology. I believe in the dark matter theory, and I believe a vacuum may be a way to harness this phenomenon.

Answer 3

Yes the Vaccum energy is very inportant when it comes to understanding nanoscale devices.
