Zero Point Energy: ?

[lilphil1989]

Isn't Zero Point Energy what they use in Stargate? ZPM = Zero Point Module if my sci-fi knowledge is up to scratch.

Maybe, zero point energy is a real thing, it's the energy particles have at T=0 (so it's non-thermal energy)

But these new age wazzocks have taken the term, and redefined it, probably to make their theories sound more credible, so people think they contain actual physics.


I never really liked Stargate, not sure why :/
In fact the only SF on tv I ever really liked is Star Trek (and futurama, not sure that counts though :p )

Although I love written SF
