Is this guy inventing the ZPM?

I stumbled on youtube.com on this video recorded from a presentation given by Nassim Haramein presenting a new model for interpreting the world of small (we now brand as Quantum Mechanics) where simply put he presents a model and some calculations supporting the idea that protons are made out of small Black-Holes!

Cool!, Not sure is the model holds water but you have to admit the idea is cool.

However this is not all, Nassim says he works on a device which is able to extract energy directly out of the space itself. This takes me back to a Sci-Fi I love, the Star-Gate series where they talk about an energy source used by some very advanced (and ancient!) civilizations, called ZPM or Zero Point Module. In the flick the ZPM is a sort of battery which can generate an enormous amount of energy being able to power spaceships as large as entire cities for thousands of years. The ZPM “extracts energy from a region of the space”.

Now, you’ll say, well Sci-Fi is some % of “Sci” + some % of “Fi” so it is not exactly real.

Let’s take a look at the history of the “Tablet Computer”, Wikipedia has an article about this where they show that the idea was first floated around since 1951 by Isaac Asimov as a “Calculator Pad” in the novel Foundation. Just take a look at the “pads” used by the different Sci-Fi movies (Star-Treck, and Star-* in general). I found this pintrest pin funny saying “1988 Star-Trck tablet computer presented, 2002 Microsoft introduces a tablet computer and 2010 iPad is introduced”. At the time when those movies were produced the notion of “tablet computer” looke light years away, yet we have them now and they look even damn better than what we imagined only few years ago.

That seem to be the case with multiple “ideas out of their times” which then we realized them one way or another. The most obvious of all is our ability to fly. Given all this, I will not be too surprised if the ZPM can actually be built. Then, buckle-up your sit belts as our reality will really take off. Only if, it would happen for us all…

Even if it does not actually predict any ZPM this article about Black Holes from Stephen Wolfram is cool too.

Bellow Nassim Haramein about this potential new energy source. Will this be successful? I’d like to think so yet only time will tell. He is leading “The Resonance Project” @ http://resonance.is .

Thorium the energy source of the future

Energy is crucial for us and our future. What sources of energy do we have?

Stars are the initiators of energy and precursors of life but they also stored caches of energy for us to use and evolve as intelligent beings.

Fusion of light elements seem to be the stuff reserved for the mighty Stars but here on Earth fission seem to be what the Stars cached for us to get and use.

As many others, I’ve been oblivious of the fact that there is a technology which was tried 50 years ago when the U235 reactors were developed and which should have been our to use by now.

Yet, it seem that our ignorance and political interests focused only on the moment, lead us on the wrong path 50 years ago by building the current water based reactors which are plagued by many issues.
Still, even in this cases nuclear is still the best way to go about our energy needs of the future when we account for all issues we find with all types of energy we now use.

I strongly think we have the duty to maximize the efficiency of all aspects our our lives and minimize the amount of energy we use for each activity we do, however we will need to do more activities in the future, a lot more and all of us must have access to the same abilities in order to step into the future which awaits us out there.

Thorium breeder (LFTR) reactors were simply caned years ago, I think it is time we start building them.

I’m a strong advocate for this technology. To see why, please visit the http://energyfromthorium.com web site or watch the presentation bellow.

Of course, I’m not advocating for blindly supporting the technology, please learn about it and support when you are ready to do so…
