2012 POINT ZERO & XENO EFFECT ON THE CENTER OF OUR GALAXY
In a quantum mechanical system such as the particle in a box or the quantum harmonic oscillator, the lowest possible energy is called the zero-point energy. According to classical physics, the kinetic energy of a particle in a box or the kinetic energy of the harmonic oscillator may be zero if the velocity is zero. Quantum mechanics with its uncertainty principle implies that if the velocity is measured with certainty to be exactly zero, the uncertainty of the position must be infinite. This either violates the condition that the particle remain in the box, or it brings a new potential energy in the case of the harmonic oscillator. To avoid this paradox, quantum mechanics dictates that the minimal velocity is never equal to zero, and hence the minimal energy is never equal to zero.
Does electromagnetic zero-point energy exist, and if so, are there any practical applications and does it have any connection with dark energy? The theoretical basis for electromagnetic zero-point energy is clear.
According to Sciama (1991):
Even in its ground state, a quantum system possesses fluctuations and an associated zero-point energy, since otherwise the uncertainty principle would be violated. In particular the vacuum state of a quantum field has these properties. For example, the electric and magnetic fields in the electromagnetic vacuum are fluctuating quantities.
The Casimir Effect is an example of a one-loop effect in quantum electrodynamics that can be simply explained by the zero-point energy. It is precisely localizable differences in the zero-point energy that may prove to be of some practical use and that may be the basis of dark energy phenomena. Moreover it has also been found that asymmetries in the zero-point field that appear upon acceleration may be associated with certain properties of inertia, gravitation and the principle of equivalence Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff (1994); Rueda and Haisch (1998); Rueda and Haisch (2005)
Properties
Lastly, insights may be offered on certain quantum properties (Compton wavelength, de Broglie wavelength, spin) and on mass-energy equivalence (E=mc2) if it proves to be the case that zero-point fluctuations interact with matter in a phenomenon identified by Erwin Schrödinger known as zitterbewegung (Haisch and Rueda 2000; Haisch, Rueda and Dobyns 2001; Nickisch and Mollere 2002).
As intriguing as these latter possibilities are, the first order of business is to unambiguously detect and measure zero-point energy. While a Casimir experiment such as that of Forward (1984) can in principle measure energy that may be attributed to the existence of real zero-point energy, there are alternative explanations involving source-source quantum interactions in place of real zero-point energy (see Milonni 1994). To move beyond this ambiguity of interpretation experiments that will test for the reality of measurable zero-point energy will need to be devised.
Cultural References
In the Justice League Episode, 'Hereafter', Vandal Savage had taken over the world and invented a Zero Point Generator in the boredom of immortality which was used to power a time machine to transport Superman back to the present.
In the movie 'The Incredibles', the villain Syndrome uses a ray that can immobilize an opponent, suspending him in mid-air. Director Brad Bird, speaking in a DVD commentary, says that in searching for a name for the device (or at least a better one than "the Immobi-ray"), he came across and used a reference to "zero-point energy", which Syndrome himself uses to describe his weapon. (Of course, this is simply a cool name rather than a practical application at this time!)
In the computer game Half-Life 2, one of the weapons used by the player is the "Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator", better known by its nickname the "Gravity Gun". It allows the user to pick up and launch any medium-sized objects, and was used to market the game's detailed physics engine.
The television show Stargate SG-1 and the spinoff, Stargate Atlantis also makes references to zero-point energy in the form of Zero Point Modules or ZPMs. These ZPMs extract energy from small artificially-created subspaces are used to power the technology of the Ancients, such as the energy shield which protects the city of Atlantis and powering the Stargate with sufficient power to allow travel to the Pegasus Galaxy. The Ancients also attempted to extract zero-point energy directly from their own universe in Project Arcturus.
Another television series called ZERO.POINT is in development that centers around the machinations of a quantum physicist searching for zero-point energy technology and a drifter who wanders in perfect synchronicity.
In Marvel Comic's "Ultimate Secret" issue one, the disguised Captain Mahr-vell has helped humans develop a star drive based on ZPE. He offhandedly remarks that quantum wave fluctuations were discovered to cause inertia, which is the SED Hypothesis (covered here).
In the second season of the television series 'Alias', Sydney Bristow is tasked to retrieve a music box that supposedly contains a formula for zero-point energy.
In '3001: The Final Odyssey,' by Arthur C. Clarke humanity is tapping zero point energy (or vacuum energy as it's called in the book). Human astronomers observed an explosion of a far-away star, and on further investigation found that the detonation started at one of the planets which destabilized the star itself. This event gives the characters nightmares, as it was assumed that some alien race was using zero-point energy and lost control.
ZPE is also a potential energy source of interest to independent researchers outside of mainstream research entities, such as the late Eugene Mallove, and figures into discussions on radio programs such as Coast to Coast AM.

Avatar Guide
For Light Workers
A Spiritual Intellectual Club
Mystics, Oracles, Prophet/Prophetess, Sages, Seers, Shamans, and Truth Seekers.
ACE METAPHYSICAL INSTITUTE
of Philosophy & Technology
Avatar Guide for Lightworkers is a work in progress. This will include the globalization process and the United Nations and UNESCO interests in Art, Culture, Education, Science, Technology,
Energy, Ethos, Etymology, Ethnology, and Folklife are five of the headings of main focus on our Ascension Center. ACES as the agreed association of copy editors society will also be something to look forward too by young writers who desire to share in the websites we shall create on the Internet and in the new media.
We are looking forward to assisting others as Social Entrepreneurs. Our target date for release is for 2013.
The deadline for discovery and input by all is December 21, 2012 time (T.) 11:11. Our Ascension Center Enlightenment World Mantra and Motto is "SHIFT AND UPLIFT FOR HEALTH AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL!"
We are sharing with those who are studying the Teachings of the Mystics including Christian Mystics, Jewish Mysticism, and all others through out time.
We have many people requesting the ACE GUIDE. We are putting great efforts into sharing all of the Ancient Mystery Schools with all the updates regarding the mystical, magical, metaphysical, and occult wisdom lacking in many of the past disciplines taught on earth. Many people could not read and write throughout the past centuries. This allowed for much confusion .
We hope that the world will desire to share health and prosperity for all.
This is our goal as Ascension Beings who are centered, well rounded, and grounded in education for earth. We are Ambassadors of Goodwill as Social Entrepreneurs assisting the Global Community with innovations and inspiration for health and prosperity.
SEVEN YEARS - 2012-2019 A SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE IN TIME CHALLENGES
The seven years we here about has to do with the typical seven we all here about in Time relating to the spirit on earth in time. 2013 begins the ASCENSION AGE.
THE ASCENSION CENTER - ACE GUIDE - EDUCATION and SELF-HELP Books and publishing for those who desire to know more about the future of humankind on earth. Many who desire to study ascension are about the future inspiration for all. Ascension Beings desire health and prosperity for all.
The Ascension Center ACE GUIDE FOR 2012 will include education in these areas.
We will offer EARTH STUDIES IN ETIOLOGY, ETHNOLOGY, ETHOS, ENTOMOLOGY, and ETYMOLOGY.
Do not confuse entomology the study of insects with Etymology the study of world history. We will assist many teachers with the topics for those who desire to visit Hawaii, and learn of Lemuria and Atlantis. The New Age of Revealing and Revelation is considered the years of 2010 through 2012. Angels are welcome as philanthropists and investors in the global futures of the Ascension Center Education in self-help books and we invite authors and publishers on the web to join us in the Media Online Press (MOP) at American News Magazine Mainstream and Social Paranormal Network Guide Alternative.
2013 begins the ASCENSION AGE. David Wilcock will be speaking at a seminar in Hawaii in February. Michael Salla is also in Hawaii.
The topics discussed are a compilation, formulation of the Ancient Mystery Schools adapted to modern day words, and etymology will be a part of the future changes in the WEB and the MATRIX. Some now refer to the Critical Mass Consciousness and how everyone that is entitled to know of the God Particles in everyone and everything affects the Akashic Field. This is now being revealed to Quantum Scientists and those who are working with the Hadron Collider. There are new findings for Astronomers and new telescopes creating new awareness for us all. It is truly an age of revealing. Bodies There have been recent attempts at creating groups and associations for seminars in California and in other places around the world including Hawaii.
Honolulu is the home to the original Ascension Center and is considered the Heart of Lemuria. Many of the Hawaiian Hunas know this and feel the Hawaiian Chain of islands are cresting or sitting upon where Lemuria once resided.
If anyone has ever been to Hawaii and toured the islands where there are both whales and dolphins that live there, one can know it is truly touched and blessed.
Gil Grissom on the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation TV show is an entomologist, who is played by actor William Petersen.
Similarly, entomologist Jack Hodgins of Bones, portrayed by TJ Thyne, helps his team by analyzing insects (such as Hydrotaea) and "particulates" near to or attached to decomposed victims, often identifying the precise location a murder originally occurred; he is also an expert in botany and mineralogy.
In Arthur Conan Doyle's story, The Hound of the Baskervilles, the villain is a naturalist who collects butterflies, making him an "evil" entomologist.
There are numerous science fiction books, which have plots based on humans becoming smaller and having to deal with insects at their level.
Some examples are The Insect Warriors by Rex Dean Levie, Atta by Francis Rufus Bellamy, Bug Park by James P. Hogan, The Micronauts series by Gordon Williams, and The Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster. The Forgotten Planets plot is twisted in that the insects are the size of men (or larger) on a planet "seeded" to prepare it for human habitation. Robert Asprin wrote The Bug Wars, a novel about war between reptiles and insects on an interplanetary scale.
We are going into what are called precession years. This will include
The new discoveries of old and ancient information through science,
Technology and discoveries of future inventions.
It is our desire to share in the awareness of ascension cultural
Education. We plan to do this via the Internet or World Wide Web.
There is so much changing now that we should be involved with art,
Culture, education, science, technology, and the religions of
Humankind on earth.
We are going through global change and will need everyone to improve
Innovations and involvement.
The Large Hadron Collider is the picture of the 21st century that will
Lead the way into our new discoveries of the weak and strong nuclear
Forces in the universe. This will deal with the global environment,
International world governmental changes and future discoveries on
Earth. Some may include the knowledge of reverse engineering from
Extraterrestrial technology.
We are doing this internationally now as we can see due to the recent
Earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010. We cannot change history but
We can learn from our mistakes.
The Red Cross is the one organization that we can count on in the world.
The United Nations is also one organization along with UNESCO for education.
We will need more involvement during these years that will involve
The OLYMPIC TEAMS to inspire us and to share hope.
There are new words on websites springing up daily in the world. The new buzzwords with the new marketing and media online have not been able to keep up with all the new words. We will need a new Global Lexicon and WORLD WIDE DICTIONARY.
We will need improvements in our Lexicography skills. There are now new
Improvements in our entertainment media. We have seen some innovations that we have enjoyed with computer graphics and simulations in a lifelike film called Avatar. We will desire more movies such as Avatar and maybe Steven Spielberg could make a Close Encounters II or the Fourth Kind has been made so maybe Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind. This new 3D movie was a wonderful contribution to the 21st
Century.
During the past in American when we were at war and/or in a recession
We used the theater and movies to inspire us to a better way of life
With movie stars on the big silver screen who had a life we could only
Dream about and desire, which inspired hope for the future.
We have always enjoyed our movies and these can now be seen in various
Ways on television via satellite, internet computers, and yet, we
Still want to go share in a social event with our friends and families
In theaters in America. This has been engraved as part of our American
Culture.
The Ascension Center Education will be a part of the future and is
Concentrating on the time prior to the date of December 21, 2012,
11:11 AM as the sun passes over our part of the world. The light will
Restore parts of our DNA that have been lacking and those born after
This time on earth will be the new human beings with knowledge
Abilities that include the future in 3D and Virtual Imaging in the
Matrix.
Many call this Ascension Age, which is called that for the awareness the time on earth, brings about the truth as it is restored in correcting history with our past knowledge clarified with the assistance of avatar oracles.
The topics shared in a guide we will be sharing in the new World
Information Network (WIN) to inspire Social Entrepreneurs of the
Future on the Internet. We are a Global Community that is rebuilding
Ourselves through new information, knowledge, reconstruction, and
Imagining ourselves in the future. This projection and new telepathic
Waves we use to connect to the Akashic Field of Everything in the
Universe will be not only felt but also discovered to be a real energy in
The smallest forms of matter and antimatter in science.
Some of the topics below are what many people are now interested in as
We create new scripts for our enjoyment and entertainment social media
Networks. We will all become students as seekers and teachers as seers
Around the world. Global Community Culture is dealing with art,
Culture, education, science, technology, social entrepreneurs, and
creating new professions and careers for the future of our children.
The following is in no specific order as we are still compiling topics and subjects for Neophytes from our Ascension Center Authority though December 21, 2012 T. 11:11 DEADLINE - ASCENSION CENTER AVATAR GUIDE FOR LIGHT WORKERS IN THE ASCENSION AGE
ASCENSION AGE begins on DECEMBER 21, 2012 T. 11:11
The most dramatic changes are being revealed now in articles on Social Paranormal Network Guide at www.socialparanormal.com

Web 2.0: Facebook hands Microsoft its public status updates for Bing
Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg is on-stage at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. The big news is that Facebook is giving Microsoft a feed of people’s public updates to be incorporated into search results. Sandberg said no money exchanged hands during the deal and that the company is “not trying to make money on data.”
(Sandberg said there’s nothing to announce with Google, which is her former employer.)
Here are notes from her talk:
John Battelle: How did you manage becoming profitable?
Sandberg: The short answer is revenue growth. We have a robust advertising business. We think we are — and the numbers are proving it — making real the promise for what the Internet is doing for advertising. It would no longer be a one-to-many medium where you’d blast your message out.
Brand advertising has been one-to-many, blasting out your message. Our ads are different. Facebook is where you are your authentic self, so advertisers are able to engage with you. You are able to engage with marketers the way you can with friends. We’re ready to announce that we’re not only profitable and cash-flow positive as well.
Battelle: I want to get back to the question of how that breaks out.
Sandberg: We sell through a direct sales force and we sell through an online ad platform that’s now available in 28 languages and 15 currencies. Both explain the increase in revenue.
Battelle: It seems that the referral ecosystem is shifting. We’ve had a stable system where search has been king, distributing the attention of people around the Internet ecosystem. But the referral logs are increasingly Facebook and Twitter and other sharing sites. You must have noticed that while you’re at Google. And now you’re at Facebook. Is there any connection?
Sandberg: There are a shift. How do you get the information that you want to get? Google is going to continue to be important, but its doing it in an anonymous web. The wisdom of the web. We believe in the wisdom of friends. (She gives the example of Where The Wild Things Are and how her son wanted to go. So she asked friends on the web whether it was appropriate to bring her child. And she got more than 18 responses and realized it wasn’t a good movie to take a young child to.)
I wanted that information from people I trusted, from people who knew me and my kids. I believed that I could trust that more than information from a publicly available source.
Battelle: We just saw a company called Aardvark that leverages the Facebook platform to answer questions. How do you manage the tension between developers outside what you want to create in-house?
Sandberg: The platform strategy is really important. We have an open platform, We don’t try to build everything our users want to use. We focus on building the core technology and people develop on top. We have over 1 million developers. People are engaged in Facebook doing things developers build out. We are focused on the core platform. We are indifferent if it’s in a status update or in an outside app. What matters to us is that our technology is at the core of connecting with your friends and that activity.
Battelle: You’re not alone in that ambition. There’s also Google and Twitter. What’s Facebook’s unique proposition compared to what Google or Microsoft might do in terms of competing for being that social graph?
Sandberg: We have to be vigilant and make sure that we’re continuing to iterate and provide the best product. We start from a place where Facebook is where you’re yourself on the web. Facebook’s the only place where you can share something with a few close friends or the whole world. We do this at scale. 300 million people come to Facebook and get an individual news feed. I think in terms of do we, are we the leaders of providing that service? I think there’s no question.
Battelle: Let’s talk about Facebook Connect. I think this crowd understands what it is. Maybe you can give a quick overview. Is Facebook Connect now what it was when it launched? Are their plans to make it more robust?
Sandberg: Facebook Connect is an extension of our platform. You can log-in to that site with Facebook and you can bring your friends to that site. You can log-in to the Huffington Post for example and see what stories your friends have read and comments they’ve made. We’re able to take your social network and bring it to any site.
I would have these meetings. People would tell me they wanted to build a community around a site. They do want to share activity with friends, but they’re not going to go and set up a community on every site. But you can do this with Facebook. That’s what we’re enabling.
Battelle: Are you going to be enabling a lot of the core functionality inside the domain of Facebook, outside?
Sandberg: We want to give people enough technology to enable them to share both on and off Facebook. We continue to iterate and build out that functionality.
Battelle: It looks to the untrained eye like a potential Trojan horse for a monetization service that might also roll out alongside Facebook Connect — it might become an AdSense-like product for the rest of the world.
Sandberg: Not now. We’re focused on building products for users and we look at monetization later. We are focused on monetization. We have a robust ad business that is funding Facebook and Facebook Connect. We want the APIs to be easy to integrate and we want it to be easy for very cool integrations and applications.
Battelle: Are developers asking you for this? How do you ensure there’s a system where developers can get paid?
Sandberg: People who start with Facebook Connect usually have their own business like ABC News or Huffington Post. They’re looking to socially engage. They want more users and less anonymity. When Michael Jackson died, ABC streamed the memorial and what they found was that people were engaging.
Battelle: I’m glad you talked about Zynga. And they’re working with PayPal. Are you looking at building your own payments system?
Sandberg: We do a few things on payments. We have a large ad system. Facebook’s growing internationally and domestically and we needed a way for people to buy ads very efficiently. The second thing we’re doing right now is we have a virtual goods and gift store. You can pay with Facebook credits. We are doing testing with developers where people can use credits to pay for items in apps.
Battelle: When I talked with Ev yesterday, he said he was flattered by some of the Facebook updates that felt a little “Twittery”? Was that a response to Twitter?
Sandberg: Anyone who has worked at Facebook knows that change is in the DNA. It comes from Mark. We think Twitter’s impressive. They’ve built something very important. The world’s moving toward more sharing and more real-time connections. The world now accepts that 140 characters is an acceptable size of information to share. That’s important step in how people are sharing and connecting. There’s room for more than one player in that.
Battelle: The scale is very different in terms of the amount of status updates.
Sandberg: We do 45 million status updates a day from 30 million unique individuals. People want to share. Our challenge and lots of people are working on that is how to do more of that.
Battelle: Has the vision of what Facebook was changed either since before you came and sort of looked at the company and became Mark’s partner?
Sandberg: I don’t think the vision’s changed. I don’t think the vision’s changed since Mark was in his dorm room. The vision is to help people connect. Certainly what we build to enable that changes all the time. We’re committed to continuing that process of change. We want our products to keep evolving. Even as we get to be a bigger company, it’s important for us to iterate and build products rapidly.
Battelle: You don’t have a very Valley background. You were in the Treasury. We’ve had several government-related speakers. Let me ask you this — how do you think about having a conversation with Washington D.C.?
Sandberg: I think and I thought this then that Silicon Valley is an amazing force for our economy. We’re changing the world and we’re building products that are changing people’s lives. Our impact on policy is not as profound. There are industries that understand how important those ties are. The core things that this industry and the core political platform that this place needs to believe in is globalization. Free trade. We as an industry have more to do. We are probably the strongest, best voice for those things. They’re important for Facebook, for HP, Cisco — for all of these businesses, that rely on the free movement of labor and capital.
I think we can do better.
Audience: Asks about the shift to sharing with everyone…
Sandberg: Privacy has always been really important to us. You can share information with some people or with everyone. Making it more open and public isn’t a philosophical shift. We want to make these choices more granular. We’re offering them more and more in different parts of the site. Do I want this to be for everyone? Or just for friends? It’s just a continuation of helping people to share more in different ways.
Battelle: It’s very clear that a lot of the companies in your Internet peer set — Yahoo, AOL, MySpace — are all organizing themselves around a strategy of content. Facebook has never really had that as a center of gravity. Is that going to change? Because there’s a lot of sharing of content.
Sandberg: It’s not going to change. We’re busy enough trying to build technology that helps people share, across mobile devices and the rest of the world. We’re a platform for people to share whatever content they want to, and we’re becoming important referrers.
Audience: What’s your advice to a marketer for connecting with individuals?
Sandberg: We offer a number of products. The biggest advice we offer is do it quickly and iterate. Traditionally, it’s been about planning. Facebook is much more iterative because it’s about two-way marketing. Keep changing your messages. Put a little bit of content once a day is much better than a big push. People are spending time online in a fast, iterative way. Our most successful marketers, whether it’s mom and pop, or large companies. That’s exactly what they do.
Audience: The deals this morning were non-exclusive, so if you partnered with Google, what sort of mash-ups would you imagine?
Sandberg: I have a very big imagination. We have an open platform and we want to work with lots of people across the web. The agreement with Bing is giving them the “everyone” data. No money exchanged hands. We are not trying to make money on data.
Audience: The perception was that older people weren’t on Facebook, now everyone’s on there. Did you consciously set out to do that?
Sandberg: We want everyone to use Facebook. As the site started in a certain age demographic, but we’ve grown and spread across many age demographics. In other countries where we started later, the site grew across broader demographics from the very beginning. The nice thing about Facebook is it’s personal.
