Clearly the quantum vacuum is also present in the heads of those who wrote that paper.
We live now in a post-science age, where, after the H bomb, physicist were mass produced
in the expectation they would produce even more powerful weapons.
Nothing has come forward, and no fusion power either.
The minds were poisoned with math based on wild theories,
in a vain attempt to find something even greater then Einstein's 'space time', that
theory being the first successful attempt to replace physics by math only.
The dreamboys who were schooled to think like that, and build ever bigger machines
with no results, have to come up with *something* to have some credibility, and as such feed Hollywood mainly.
Hollywood makes big business out of aliens and warp drives, fusion cores, anti matter bombs,
wormholes, other universes, in some where Elvis is still alive, it sells.
So, here is you science.
The equation is:
half a full bottle = half an empty bottle.
Multiply both side of the equation by 2, and
a full bottle = an empty bottle.
Have fun.
Do not cry, it took millions of years for humanity to discover how to make fire,
some more to learn to use electricity, so do not hold your breath waiting for improvement,
It is said that we originate from the apes.
Those writers are just aping each other in chanting a stupid song.
