Bill S ... in my words I think what they are saying is that because of uncertainty principle that the quark binding forces can zip in out of being without an energy cost (ie perpetual motion)

That in itself I find both weird and interesting .. I really need to talk through this with some physicists.

I can view it one of two ways

1) The 2nd law doesn't apply to things in the QM uncertainty realm. I would really like to go read and look at what happens with entangled particles because this woudl imply you could use them for lossless transmission across vast distances a fact I find both weird and facinating.

2) That spacetime fabric has "resistance" (sorry best word I could use .. my english is very limited) so like in a electrical circuit transferring energy costs some of the energy. Also a very interesting concept.

Anyone got another view on that?

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
