Particle physicists are like very picky accountants. In every experiment the energy books must balance to the expected theoretically predicted value (within some inevitable measurement error) or they begin to think there’s a hidden accountant somewhere they don’t know about that is cooking the books.

This was the kind of problem that perplexed physicists at the turn of the 20th century and was called the “ultraviolet catastrophe” of radiating bodies. What finally emerged from this problem was quantum mechanics and QFT. Much of the modern world is now dependent on solid state devices that resulted from our understanding of these quantum effects.

The quantum foam is also known as the vacuum energy or dark energy and makes up 75% of the energy of the universe. If there is a way to tap some hidden account in this energy bank we might be able to control energies beyond our imagination in the future.

I understood about 40 words, but enough to ask timidly, can muon production be scaled and be used as a foundation for an antigravity or propulsion mechanism?

Need quantum foam energy storage battery so when matter and energy go in and out of existence we can have back up. Otherwise the world will end when quantum foam fizzles out.

Spot on.

And please don’t underestimate the power of human imagination... ;-)
