But but but. Shouldn't Martin already know that? He *claims* to be a
physicist.

Wow. That's mature of you...

School must be out.

Scott, could you do the same thing with Tom, Mika and Satyr please, I
enjoyed watching what you did to young Martin and these others are even more
stupid.

That depends on how you define time.

I am more interested in knowing where it does come from for as space
increases in volume, the ZPE field should decrease in magnitude and with it
the various coupling constants that characterize the strength of
interactions between elementary particles. But these have not been observed
to change substantively over the last 10 billion years or so, while the
volume of space has apparently increased greatly.

If so then if the energy content per square cemtimeter has remained the
same, where has the additional energy come from?

There is some speculation that it is an ongoing process in which energy is
leaking in from some alternate universe and that we are part of a larger
encompasing set of universes called a multiverse.

I think it more likely that the evaporative threshold for the ZPE field
decreases over time so that energy is always available for mediating
interactions.

I am also partial to considering space as static and in which scales of
length are constantly contracting to give the illusion of expansion and
recession with distance.

In any case, one major problem that I have never seen addressed is the issue
of the permittivity of free space in a very compact, dense volume. Even with
the standard model, as you run it back in time, energy densities increase,
altering the permittivity of free space, and slowing the speed of light. As
densities go infinite, c goes to zero, and when c is reduced the rate of
flow of time is also reduced.

So as the universe becomes more compact, it's compactification slows
relative to our rate of flow of time. So depending on your defintiion of
time, the universe can be both infinite in age or finite. Asking where ZPE
comes from therefore depends on ones' defintion of time. If one considers
local time, then there is no answer since there is no beginning.

Given the constraint that there is no outside to our universe, it seems to
me that this is the answer to your question.
