Zero-point energy - What is it?. Zero Point Energy is a term used in physics to define the minimum energy that a given system, such as a subatomic particle, can possess. It is always greater than zero, according to the scientific principles of quantum mechanics, contradicting predictions based on the more-intuitive "laws" of the earlier, "classical" or "newtonian" physics. Referred to as the Zero Point Effect, this results in counter-intuitive phenomena. For example, according to quantum theory, if we coul ...
