You allow to force to operate over any distance you desire and you obtain
energy in the process.

Take two conductive plates, bring them into close proximity. Allow them
to be pushed together by the casimir force, and vacuum energy is converted
into "real" energy in the process.

Zero point energy is quite real. The matter that surrounds us is simply a
froth that rides on top of an ocean of vacuum energy.

Too late. You're already silly.

So it seems.

Heh. You'd think the stupid things would be the easiest to understand.
It's the very complex and subtle things that would be hardest. But I guess
that's not true for you.

To some degree, yes.

Yep. And some stupid people don't. Agreement or disagreement with Bush is
not a definitive test of intelligence.

Ok, now how do you repeat the process without pulling them
apart, returning the energy to the vacuum? It looks more
like a spring than an energy source.

Uh oh. He's perseverating.
