I bet physics buffs never thought they’d see those two terms together.
This is a callout for all FATCA haters, and opponents of the US citizenship-based taxation model – don’t give up! Think those positive thoughts! We can change this! We can eliminate FATCA using the zero point field!
The other day I got interested in ‘zero point field’ and ‘zero point energy’ – quantum physics terms – and did a bit of wandering around the internet to see what it meant and what people were saying about it.
There are quite a few sites that go into details on the physics, such as Calphysics Institute.
http://www.calphysics.org/zpe.html
“Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of what are usually called ”zero-point” energies for the strong, the weak and the electromagnetic interactions, where ”zero-point” refers to the energy of the system at temperature T=0.”
“… quantum physics predicts that all of space must be filled with electromagnetic zero-point fluctuations (also called the zero-point field) creating a universal sea of zero-point energy.”
Alright, maybe a bit obscure, but more interesting were the sites postulating about possibly tapping into the zero energy field, being able to use it for space flight, for example. Warp drives could become real!

Cool stuff, but what really caught my eye were the people musing that our thoughts can have a physical effect. Who say that we are connected to everything, and our thoughts can change the world.
“If thoughts equal energy and energy equals matter, then thoughts become matter. Observe your thoughts as they will manifest themselves in your life in the physical via the Zero Point Field/Matrix.”

So, while I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek here, what can it hurt? I’m concentrating on sending my thoughts into the zero point field.
“ Ooohmmm…..Eradicate FATCA…..Eliminate FATCA….Ooohmmm……Jettison FATCA…..Destroy FATCA… Oohmmm….Abolish FATCA
Join me?
Fascinating stuff – quantum physics. I think it will eventually be used to explain a lot of phenomenon that today most people think is in the realm of make-believe.
I for one, definitely believe in the power of positive thought, and have been making a point of regularly thinking ‘kill FATCA’ since I had my ‘OMG moment’ a few months ago.
It definitely cannot hurt, that is for sure. Oohmmm….Destroy FATCA!
@WhiteKat, thought I detected another force in the field! Glad you’re in there, too! And, I think you’re right. I believe we don’t know a fraction of what we might think we do.
Catching up here after seeing Blaze’s comment at the Flophouse. I posted today and I just re-read and I must be more depressed than I imagined. Not very positive at all – in fact avoid at all costs unless you have a stiff drink in hand.
Glad I stopped by. Time to get a grip. It ain’t over ’til it’s over, right? I’ll try tapping into that energy source (or I could just try to unleash my inner bitch 🙂
