Abstract
Quantum electrodynamics suggests that the vacuum is a hyper-dimensional realm stressed with an extremely high potential known as the zero-point energy. While the virtual particle flux that comprises the zero-point energy seems to be amorphous for a given dimension, recent observations in crystallography suggest a geometry by which the dimensionality of the vacuum state enfolds. This geometry is presented here as a possible underlying mechanism for many phenomena, and as a possible approach for utilizing the zero-point energy.
