According to quantum mechanics and general relativity, the power of zero is infinite, so it’s no surprise that people are hoping to tap its potential. But for the time being, it appears that nothing will come of nothing.
According to the rules of quantum mechanics, the zero-dimensional electron has infinite mass and infinite charge.
The zero of the vacuum might explain the lumpiness of the universe. Since the vacuum everywhere in the universe is seething with a quantum foam of virtual particles, the fabric of the universe is filled with infinite zero-point energy. Under the right conditions this energy is able to push objects around; in the early universe it might have pushed objects apart.
