The Zero-Point Energy Field is somewhat of an amazing discovery. In fact, it would never have been found if it wasn't for quantum mechanics. First... What is the Zero-Point Energy Field?
Whenever physicists talk about the vacuum, it is usually in very arbitrary and pragmatic terms. According to classical physics, everything has energy... and nothing really has matter. If you where able to remove every bit of diffused matter (energy) and every bit of solid energy (matter) from the vacuum, you are left with an enormous amount of energy. This is the Zero-Point Energy Field.
Even if you where to freeze the vacuum down to absolute zero-temperatures, there is still movement ocurring. If we thought that an object at rest was really at rest, we would be wrong. There is still movement because atoms and subatomic particles are continuously buffeted by the Zero-Point Energy Field.
Even though Zero-Point Energy seems to be impossible to measure directly, it still consists of what are called quantum fluctuations... A fluctuating field is where distortions occur, and these distortions have an amazing amount of energy... A marble for instence contains around 10^93 grams of matter... Now that is a lot indeed. Just consider that the sun rediates around 5 x 10^12 grams of matter, that is five million tons of energy and matter every second! Now, the Zero-Point Field might be also able to account for Inertia...
Inertial mass appears to be the resistance an object has when being accelerated; when it is inexorably subjected to a force.
In Newton's equation of motion, the application of a force begins to stop, the acceleration goes down, all the way to zero, and the object remains in a uniformal motion. Physical objects are thus assumed to resist acceleration, because that resistance is, or at least appears to be an intrinsic property of matter.
F=ma is obviously the equation that states that the change of velocity is proportional to the force F, where the constant is the inertial mass m of the object.
The work i am studying right now suggests inertia is a property, or shadow at best of a property arising out of all-pervading electromagnetic field of the Zero-Point Eergy Field... I like this study, because i have thoughts that even consciousness might arise out of this vacuum, just like matter and energy does. And i also beleive that consciousness is affected by the Zero-Point Field much like matter is constantly jiggling in its invisible presence.
From what i have learned, is that the Zero-Point Energy Field (should be) a background temperature of electromagnetic radiation that is uniform and isotropic...
Recent results interestingly showed that as a moving observer accelerates through the Zero-Point Field, the spectrum of the Zero-Point Field becomes distorted, just like acceleration in spacetime causes natural distortions, and the distortions increase with an ascending value of acceleration.
It turns out that there is no longer need to suppose that there is something called mass having an ''innate property'', inertia, that resists acceleration; the really inetresting thing that is really happening, is that an electromagnetic force acts on the inner charge of matter which ultimately creates the effect of inertia!
