zero-point energy |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
zero-point energyVibrational energy retained by molecules even at a temperature of absolute zero. Since temperature is a measure of the intensity of molecular motion, molecules would be expected to come to rest at absolute zero. However, if molecular motion were to cease altogether, the atoms would each have a precisely known location and velocity (zero), and the uncertainty principle states that this cannot occur, since precise values of both position and velocity of an object cannot be known simultaneously. Thus, even molecules at absolute zero must have some zero-point energy. How to thank TFD for its existence?

I refer to studies about the power of prayer and meditation, the anthropoid principle, unified field research, and quantum indications of some of the traditional attributes of God, such as nonlocality (omnipresence) and zero-point energy (omnipotence). For the Clippers (0-2), Elton Brand recovered from his zero-point performance in the opener with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Vilenkin points out that until recently the standard Big Bang theory of the universe's development conflicted with such ideas of a zero-point beginning. |
