Indicates a 'possibility' of such particles actually existing.
What particles? Are you suggesting that your scalar field has an associated particle that is a non-vector boson? What properties would this particle exhibit?
Perhaps I've misunderstood what it is you're proposing. Please detail it clearly and we'll go from there.

This is not what science is about. It's not about conclusive proof, it's about coming to a conclusion based on all the available evidence. All evidence available suggests that the law of conservation of energy is always obeyed, and as such there can be no undepletable "background" energy.
My challenge stands:
Provide a mathematical description - mathematics is the language of physics, this is a reasonable request
And peer-reviewed evidence - This is vital for the advancement of science, without it any crackpot loon could say anything and call it science (not that I'm suggesting you're a loon of course, but you get my point I hope)
Galileo was a man of science oppressed by the irrational and superstitious. Today, he is used by the irrational and superstitious who claim they are being oppressed by science - Mark Crislip
