Summary

The host, Ashton Forbes, discusses a theoretical framework proposed by Douglas Miller regarding the nature of the speed of light and its relationship to the vacuum of space. The argument posits that Maxwell's equations, specifically the relationship between the speed of light and the permittivity and permeability of free space, imply that space is a physical medium with substance rather than empty void.

Forbes interprets this to mean that the speed of light is determined by the vibrational properties or density of this medium, which he analogizes to an ocean of Zero Point Energy (ZPE).

Key Claims (4)

Speculative

The speed of light is determined by the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum, which are properties of a physical medium (ether/zero-point energy) rather than a constant of empty space.

Evidence: Maxwell's equations (velocity of light = 1/sqrt(permittivity * permeability))

Speculative

Citing Barry Setterfield, Forbes says Planck's constant measures zero point energy density, like sea level on an ocean. The depth of that ZPE "ocean" sets local physical forces such as gravity and Coulomb repulsion.

Evidence: Barry Setterfield's theory on Planck's constant and ZPE density

Speculative

Manipulating Zero Point Energy density locally changes the permittivity and permeability of space-time, effectively warping space-time and altering Coulomb's law.

Evidence: Douglas Miller's quote-tweet analysis

Speculative

Citing Douglas Miller, Ashton Forbes argues that controlling zero-point energy density would change the Coulomb repulsion between atoms and so cut the energy needed for fusion, which he takes as a sign that fusion was solved long ago.

Evidence: Douglas Miller: "If we can control zero-point energy, we can control gravity, and we can control the nuclear forces."

Now, I'm proud of the Zero Point Energy community. Why? Because our content is very high IQ. Very It's only for smart people. When normies look at this, this is like them trying to decode like ancient ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. They don't know what any of this means.

They don't know the significance of it. But Douglas Miller is out there dropping truth bombs on people. So he quote-tweeted this. And he said, all right, Linda Z, chat, says, "Maxwell's equations have been the most beautiful aspect of electromagnetism. Imagine doing the math and find Excuse me, and finding out the velocity of an electromagnetic wave equals exactly the speed of light. Exactly the speed of light.

Think about that. Once upon a time, we didn't know what electromagnetism was. We didn't know what electricity was or magnetism. And then we found out they're one in the same. And then we were trying to measure the speed of an electromagnetism. What is the speed of an electromagnetism?

How fast does it propagate? And so we measure the speed of an electromagnetic wave. And what do we find out? We find out the speed is exactly the speed of light. Exactly the speed of light. That is so profound.

Cuz what does it mean? It means electromagnetic waves are light. There can be no How are the possibility the electromagnetic wave travels at exactly the speed of light? None. This is when physics used to be amazing. When they used to discover things.

And the best part was how they discovered it. They discovered it using old material science, old school instruments. Like shooting a a wheel or shooting light through a wheel down 2 km and having to come back. They weren't using super advanced machinery to do all this. It was just smart-ass people MacGyvering some and figuring it out. But what's the important part then?

It's what it means. But what does it mean that an electromagnetic is light? It means this equation right up here at the top. The velocity of light is 1 divided by the square root of the permittivity times the permeability. Or the speed of light is 1 divided by the square root of the permittivity times the permeability. It's saying that the there's a medium.

The permittivity and permeabilities are properties of a medium. They're literal properties of metals. So we're saying this medium of space-time it has substance to it. We don't see it, but there's some substance to it. There's a thing there. And in theory this thing can be manipulated.

Now where was what's-his-faces? Here it Where was his response? I think he quote tweeted it. Yep, here it is. >> [clears throat] >> Can't wait to talk to him. We're going to chat this weekend, I think. And then I'm going to I am going to get uh uh Ryan Wood as well as uh um what's his face?

Dan Winter on, too. And then we'll have a follow with Tom Valone. So, we got a lot of good podcasts. So, Douglas Miller says, "Great post. Remember how epsilon and mu came into theory in the first place? They were constraints in Coulomb's law." I already like where this is going.

Coulomb's law is the electromagnetic the electrostatic repulsion from nuclear forces. If we have two atoms, we try to push them together, they don't want to go together. Two ions, two positively charged ions, they don't want to go together, they want to repel. Okay. So, what is this great genius take? According to Barry Setterfield, Planck uh Planck's reduced constant is a measure of zero point energy density.

Exactly. That's what it is. Think about it. What is the zero point energy? The zero point energy is how much how much ocean water, how deep is the ocean? What is Planck's constant?

Planck's constant is telling us where sea level is. Where's sea level? How small can we get? That's the analogy. Planck's constant is telling us, "Where is the sea level? Where is it when we get to zero?"

Before we start to pull water out of the ocean. The zero point energy density controls the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum. And so then what's the analogy? However deep this ocean is, this determines what we feel is gravity. If this ocean is less deep, there's less gravity, more deep, more gravity. So now we have a direct connection.

This ocean of energy is the thing that's giving us the physical forces. That equilibrium, that speed of light, that is determining what is the physical forces, the nature of our reality in our immediate proximity, in our space-time. Whether it is not, it is found that we can increase or decrease Planck's constant locally, it sure seems as though we can recognize its participation using boundaries. So what's happening here? What are we saying is that if we change the zero point energy density, if we increase or remove the zero point energy density, then we are actually polarizing the vacuum.

Or maybe that's not the right way to phrase it. We are actually changing the permittivity and permeability of the vacuum. We're changing the permittivity and permeability of vacuum. If we change the energy density, dip into the ocean, we, by default, because of the math, are changing the permittivity and permeability. We're changing the physical properties of space time. Scary.

That means we can pull energy out of space time. But you're actually warping space time when you do that. When you pull water out of this ocean, what you're really doing is you're pulling space time out. You're pulling what we see as space time out. Yeah, what the flock is up, chat? >> [clears throat] >> So, he says, "And so, perhaps we have an incomplete understanding of what constraints of Coulomb's law really means." In other words, perhaps there are ways to play around with Coulomb's law.

So, what is Douglas Miller saying? He's saying, "If we can manipulate the zero-point energy density, then the atoms in that region are going to have a different Coulomb repulsion." He's saying, "If we can control zero-point energy, we can control gravity, and we can control the nuclear forces." This is why I say we've obviously solved fusion. We've obviously solved fusion a long time ago. Because that's a magic wand, what I just described, what Douglas Miller just described, that is a magic wand to do fusion instantly.

I would like some fusion now. Poof. Because now you can take that energy requirement for fusion shh and shrink it down to basically zero. Shrink it down to basically zero. And that's the entire premise of cool fusion. Cold fusion.

Cool fusion.
