Abstract
This paper contains original important discoveries not found anywhere else. It addresses
and answers the following questions:
Why classical curved spacetime at all? (Sakharov, 1967)
What is the “dark energy” that is most of the mass of the universe
invisible to electromagnetic detectors yet detectable gravitationally?
Why is the universe’s expansion rate speeding up rather than slowing
down?
What is Kip Thorne’s “exotic matter” needed to keep traversable
wormholes open?
Is vacuum propulsion of unconventional flying objects
2
possible in
principle?
3
In the course of answering these questions I derive the detailed nature of the coherence
mechanism of the zero point energy vacuum fluctuations. What we have is an electrically
neutral spin 0 Bose-Einstein condensate
4
of mainly virtual electron-positron pairs. I
derive explicit formulas for the parameters of the effective potential of this condensed
phase of quantum vacuum without which classical gravity could not even come into
being. These formulas show implicitly how the quantum phase transition leading to
inflation happens. They also suggest how to control the inflation process on a small scale.
The implications of such a development are, of course, profound.

The first obvious fact from this book by K. A. Milton is that the widespread claim by the
New Age “Cargo Cult”

Alternative Energy and UFO Disclosure Movement that the
theories of Hal Puthoff mainly, also Bernie Haisch and Alfonso Rueda secondarily, are
some kind of panacea breakthrough already here for world energy problems is “not even
wrong”

without any scientific foundation. Casimir force effects are very tiny. Their most
immediate applications would be to tiny nanometer scale machines. The UFO
explanation by Eric Davis at MUFON 2001 is completely bogus, although the alleged
phenomena cited in his paper may not be.

The general mainstream zero point energy computational situation is murky because of
the ambiguities of renormalization of subtracting two infinities to get a finite number.
True, the procedure empirically works to fantastic accuracy in quantum electrodynamics,
but it is one of the mysteries why it does.

The Green’s function method seems to require
the outgoing far field radiation boundary condition that appear to exclude nonradiating
near fields? The Casimir force for parallel plates is attractive, but it is repulsive for a
conducting neutral sphere (Timothy Boyer). Attempts to compute zero point energy
effects of confined strong gluons in the microscopic hadron bag model are inconclusive.
Applications to extra Kaluza-Klein space dimensions are also in a sorry state. When it
comes to cosmology,
“Significant issues arise when we consider gravitation, because the absolute scale of
energy presumably is now meaningful as the source of gravity. In particular, one might

think that the cosmological constant would have its origins in quantum fluctuations of the
gravitational and other fields, yet naïve estimates give far too large a value.” p. 201
(Milton).
I solve this problem in this paper. I should give some credit to Giovanni Modanese whose
work with real superconductors, not the virtual one in the superfluid quantum vacuum,
gave me one of the key ideas for this solution. Another key idea was Hagen Kleinert’s
“solid state” formalism for general relativity in terms of a “world crystal lattice” with
curvature and torsion as string topological defects of disclination and dislocation
respectively. I also should give credit to Hal Puthoff and Bernie Haisch whose
suggestions on the zero point origin of inertia and gravity seemed so silly and wrong
headed to me that I decided to solve the Sakharov problem that motivated them correctly.
Basically none of the Pundits, not just Hal and Bernie, had the correct qualitative picture
of the actual quantum vacuum although fragments like QCD gluon condensates were in
the air pointing in the right direction. No one, until me, realized how to use Bohm’s
quantum realism to derive Einstein’s 1915 geometrodynamics from the phase modulation
of the vacuum virtual Bose-Einstein condensate with the quintessent

Λ field from its
amplitude modulation.

This is a counter-factual definite statement used in quantum theory. See Roger Penrose’s popular books.
Example, “I would if I could, but I am not able.” (Pirates of Penzance) Something that might have
happened, but didn’t, would have been definite if it did. This is no joke, e.g. Elitzur-Vaidman land mine
tester p. 268 Penrose, “Shadows of the Mind”.
