Surely it would and eventually will. I'm 100% certain it can be expressed mathematically and someone will easily figure it out. But that person is not me at this time. The potential science/math/technological application of all this can tap into a great deal of power so I am focusing on the ideological and responsibility aspects first, lest we destroy ourselves with knowledge sans wisdom (again).  In a nut shell I'm not interested in starting a "zero-point" energy arms race. But on the same hand we will destroy ourselves and this planet continuing to use explosive/resource consuming technology. Lot's of other factors involved in me even considering pursuing and publishing this at all.

I see the mathematic and technological developments as absolutely inevitable and once the genie is out of the bottle it cannot be put back in. So I aim to increase our consciousness before we are saddled with a power we could hardly be trusted to handle without self destruction.

In an interview in the Sunday Times, physicist, TV show host (Stargazing Live) and former D:Ream keyboard player Brian Cox theorizes that civilizations which evolve to the point of having the technological and scientific capabilities to travel to other planets will instead use that knowledge to destroy themselves before their governmental systems have a chance to coordinate the endeavor.

    "One solution to the Fermi paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself and that needs global collaborative solutions to prevent that. It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster."
Oh great one! Please fly away and when we are worthy please do pay us a visit!
