Hi Mark, zero-point energy is a consequence of the uncertainty principle, that basically quantum oscillators must have a non-zero energy ground state. It’s actually the reason why there is non such thing as a ‘void’ or absolute rest both ideas, as you may know Abdu’l-Baha understood as well. Physicists think this is related to dark energy which drives the expansion of the universe. However the problem is that they are many orders of magnitude disagreement between the two calculated values. However I don’t think current physics understands if it is possible to extract usable energy from this. The Wikipedia article has a fairly complete discussion if you are interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

I would like to mention that the following quotation is not from Qoran but from an islamic tradition. Of course you can find the verses in Qorán that mean somhow similarly (s. 34th Sura verse 48-50).
“’Knowledge is a light which God casteth into the heart of whomsoever He willeth.’”

What’s your opinion about “free energy,” also known as “zero-point energy”? This great invention would give us a limitless source of energy, and would practically wipe out all poverty on planet earth.

“Today, physicists recognize that physical atoms are actually made up of vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating. At its smallest observable level, matter is energy, and this energy that exists all around us can be tapped into and possibly used to generate power” (Science and Nonduality, The Influence Vedic Philosophy Had on Nikola Tesla’s Idea of Free Energy)
