If you consider Vacumn Fluctuations (using Heisenberg Uncertaincy Principle near a
Temperature of Absolute 0) you can derive energy from nothing (borrow for a short
time). Energy is still conserved overall. This is a quick way to get something from
nothing. Then energy can be converted to mass. Thus you could construe that nothing
has mass. This was the Lambda the Einstein said was his greatest mistake. All models
now need to take into account of Lambda (Vacuum Energy Density of the universe)
whether it be Inflation by Guth or VSL by their group.

So you can get something for nothing... You just can't use it long.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
