  2. Vacuum energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_energy

    In the sci-fi television/film franchise Stargate, a Zero Point Module (ZPM) is a power source that extracts zero-point energy from a micro parallel universe. [12] The book Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual describes the operating principle of the so-called quantum torpedo. In this fictional weapon, an antimatter reaction is used to ...

  3. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    Zero-point energy (ZPE) is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have. Unlike in classical mechanics, quantum systems constantly fluctuate in their lowest energy state as described by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. [1] Therefore, even at absolute zero, atoms and molecules retain some vibrational motion.

    A fully charged Zero Point Module (ZPM) can provide enough power for regular travel between galaxies. [14] [16] [17] The 8th chevron is a key element in the Stargate Atlantis series, allowing travel to the Pegasus Galaxy. For the stargates of the Milky Way, with 38 address symbols and one point of origin, there are 63,606,090,240 possible seven ...

    Zero Point railway station, a railway station on the Pakistan–India border; Lingdian (band) (零点乐队), sometimes translated in English as Zero Point, a Chinese band "Zero Point", a song by Tori Amos, released on A Piano: The Collection; Zero Point, a fictional orb of energy in Fortnite Battle Royale; Zero Point, Dhaka, a public square in ...

  7. Zero point (photometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Point_(photometry)

    While the zero point is defined to be that of Vega for passband filters, there is no defined zero point for bolometric magnitude, and traditionally, the calibrating star has been the sun. [6] However, the IAU has recently defined the absolute bolometric magnitude and apparent bolometric magnitude zero points to be 3.0128×10 28 W and 2.51802× ...

  8. Zero-phonon line and phonon sideband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-phonon_line_and...

    The zero-phonon line and the phonon sideband jointly constitute the line shape of individual light absorbing and emitting molecules (chromophores) embedded into a transparent solid matrix. When the host matrix contains many chromophores, each will contribute a zero- phonon line and a phonon sideband to the absorption and emission spectra .

  9. Sinc function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_function

    The sinc function as audio, at 2000 Hz (±1.5 seconds around zero) In mathematics, the historical unnormalized sinc function is defined for x ≠ 0 by ⁡ = ⁡.. Alternatively, the unnormalized sinc function is often called the sampling function, indicated as Sa(x).
