Free Energy

I don't think the ZPM in Stargate can be considered inefficient by today's standards of how we generate energy.

I wasn't trying to say inefficient as in not good enough in today's standards, but inefficient in a way that it cannot gather the supposed unlimited energy.

Let's just stick to what we can agree on "Energy of any object is equivalent to its mass, not to matter." Tacking on the ambiguity of matter doesn't really matter and it's my only point of view that matter could represent many things and not definitive.

I was only curious but it's fine if you don't wanna tell me.

I was referring again to the ZPM (module), as per the free energy source. ZPE (zero point energy, also known as vacuum energy) is in fact a real kind of energy, and there really is quite a lot of it. That is given, but I can't relate or make a valid scientific connection between ZPE and ZMP in a matter of speaking on harnessing energy. It lacks scientific status, a theory (claim) in a sense that connecting these two at this time would be invalid. No one has ever proven to have a realistic device like ZPM that would actually be able to extract any more vacuum energy that will require to run any device in the first place. Until someone comes up with a workable design, ZPE would remain in the realm of rather odd science fiction.

You guys are really fond of Stargate, I give you that but the ZPM device is a wishful thinking for now.
You are really taking a lot of thoughts on ZPM in Stargate and how it "actually" works. The ZPM is really an unrealistic little gizmo because it somehow creates energy from… well, nothing, and therefore, the thing belongs in a prop room shelved somewhere

Yeah, it's totally unrealistic, but that's what creative licensing is for. The show didn't really explain in specific detail the nature of a zpm, which can only leave fans to speculate

Sir all I came up is this guy here.
Which he has significant study on the matter and have a patent of Quantum Vacuum Energy Extraction, his reference patent here

Whoah. This guy went ahead and created a patent to extract vacuum energy. I don't know if it can really extract the energy, it goes against what I know about it, but then again i'm not an expert on the field. Maybe someone who knows more can scrutinize it.
