ARCH 357 Chapter Notes - Chapter article: Zero-Point Energy, Physical Law
Document Summary
Industrial civilization and its fall depend on the foundations of physical law. The future that is coming i not ideal for people and that could lead them to retreat into a state of self- deception. A good example for this is the spread and enthusiasm for new energy technologies. To know for sure that an energy source is reliable, the effective energy yield must be found not including the amount of energy needed to extract that energy source nor the energy needed to put it to work. Energy moves from a high concentration to a low concentration like heat (cup of coffee) Is there or not an infinite amount of energy in the universe. Highly concentration energy is rare, since there is a difference in the amount of energy and the concentration of energy. One place where high concentration exists is on the sun, where pressure is so high hydrogen nuclei fuse into helium.
