The Enigma Cube (Alien Artifact, #1)

by Douglas E. Richards

“Quantum-field theory tells us that even in the completely empty vacuum of space there is a seething froth of activity, as virtual particles pop into and out of existence, creating energy. This is called the zero-point field, and its existence has been proven experimentally. And the energy of the void, zero-point energy, exists everywhere. In the coldest reaches of interstellar space and in the empty spaces between atoms of your body. The exact amount of energy available is controversial, but it’s immense by any measure. An early paper published by NASA estimated that there’s enough energy in a cubic centimeter of empty vacuum to boil away all of Earth’s oceans.”
