Obviously, this energy is not zero. This means that the charge (which is the field source) indeed emits energy permanently. By the way, this is a mathematical reproduction of the first paradox. I'm reading one of Prof Turtur's papers, and from the quote above I'm getting a feeling he is making some wrong assumptions on some of his calculations, because his problem setup is not physical, but highly theoretical and speculative. The profesor certainly has the math behind him, but something hints that he is not an "expert" in this domain, because I took a lot of electromagnetic course work in college and saw a lot of derivation and his calculations are dubious. For example he say's that electrostatic fields CONSTANTLY emit power (see quote above), which is not correct. If charge was miraculously created UNBALANCED meaning a cluster of (+) charge just apeared out of nowhere without the balanced (-) charges created at the same instant, than perhaps yes, the fields would be "propagating" outwardly forever and hence field power density would be "propagating" outwardly, but this is not physical, only a theoretical excercise. Moreover, in electrodyanamic theory, it is shown that his setup does NOT RADIATE, becasue there is no END FIRE mechanism from the theory of electromagnetics. EM radiation only occurs sideways from an oscillating current element (from >0 to <180 deg, with 90 degrees being the strongest, but not at 0, or 180, which is called "end fire", and in turn when integration occurs over a sphere like his, we get zero energy radiating. So that's why I'm skeptical, at first glance only. However, I concur that there is a lot of energy all around us, weather it is called ZPE or otherwise. The fact that we are not living at absolute zero, tells us that we are bathing in a lot of thermal energy, which in it's fundamental form is nothing more than electromagnetic energy at the atomic level, but of very high FREQUENCY. So my theory of a possible extraction mechanism of this energy, is to use the well known "RF mixer" principle and frequency downconvert this energy to a frequency range that we can more easily deal with and resonate tank circuits, etc.. Just a wild hairbrained idea with no hint at how to even acomplish it. The solution of this discrepancy is rather simple: It is just necessary to dissolve the misunderstanding, which is behind this discrepancy, namely the rigid fixation of the field to the field-source with immediate infinite expansion of the field. This point of few is simply erroneous (because of the reasons explained above). In reality the field is not fixed rigidly to the electron, and thus we do not have to move the complete field, when we want to move the electron. In reality, the electron emits its electromagnetic field, and as soon as the field is emitted, it is released from the electron. So the field propagates through the universe, following the way how it was emitted, not knowing what is happening to the electron, after the field has left its source. The field propagates into the space with the speed of light, without being coupled to the field-source. There is no interaction between the field source and the field being emitted before the moment of observation, so that the field does not give any action back to the electron from which it originates. I don't agree with the underlined text. EM
