David Bohm and Zero-Point Energy

Zero-Point Energy, The Fifth Element, vacuum polarization, and much of state-of-the-art science describes in some detail the inherent fullness of empty space.

“Bohm’s understanding of physical reality turns the commonplace notion of ‘empty space’ completely on its head.  For Bohm, space is not some giant vacuum through which matter moves; space is every bit as real as the matter that moves through it.  Space and matter are intimately interconnected.  Indeed, calculations of the quantity known as the Zero-Point Energy suggest that a single cubic centimeter of empty space contains more energy than all of the matter in the known universe!  From this result, Bohm concludes that ‘space, which has so much energy, is full rather than empty.’  For Bohm, this enormous energy inherent in ‘empty’ space can be viewed as theoretical evidence for the existence of a vast, yet hidden realm such as the implicate order.  [emphasis added]  (halexandria.org)

David Joseph Bohm (December 20, 1917 – October 27, 1992) was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind. Wikipedia
