Virtual particles in vacuum

The statement "there is no such thing as nothing" is not supported by quantum physics which shows that even a "vacuum" is not empty but a dynamic space filled with virtual particles and fluctuating energy fields. Virtual particles should be understood as transient particles. They appear and disappear over and over again. Transient particles are no real particles. They are just mathematical components of interaction calculations.

In this universe, everything that can vibrate will vibrate. This is supported by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. A virtual particle can exist for a time that is inversely proportional to the energy deviation from a real particle state. The literature estimates the relaxation time of virtual particles to be 10^-22 seconds. We assume that the interaction with virtual particles is the key to extracting zero-point energy.

"Zeptometry" is not an established scientific term, but rather an emerging field in physics that uses the prefix "zepto-" (10^-21) to denote measurements on an extremely small scale. The term also refers to the measurement of extremely small masses, such as a zeptogram (10^-21).

How can you design a device that will interact with something as small as 10^-22? When industrial evolution took form with the steam engine, the engineering scale unit was measured in meters. When engineering made it possible to control the fission of atoms, the scale was lowered by an exponent of 10 to 10^-10. Today's challenge is to reduce the scale again by an exponent of 10 to approach 10^-22. We then make it possible to extract energy from the vacuum.
