zahid_khan_bryant asked:


law of conservation of energy says that energy cann’t be created nor destroyed however it can be changed from one form into another
while quantum theory says that something can be made from nothing
is quantum theory contradicting the law of conservation of energy?

   No. according to uncertainity principle, energy can made from nothing or anihilation during the time th/E but this changes unobserveable for us and then we can say the energy is conserved.

   Quantum theory allows energy to be borrowed from the uncertainty period by a short time period inversely proportional to the amount of the loan. At the end of the day, the books have to balance and energy is conserved.

   The law of conservation of energy, has no relevance. The question should be how efficient is the fuel system. Most fuel systems are at best about 15% effluent. In 1936 Charles Pogue, patented a carburetor that got 26.2 miles to the pint. 209.6 MPG. That carburetor, was calculated to be 72% efficient. Now laws are being violated, except the laws of efficiency. Lead and other additives were not added to gasoline until after 1936. This was done to gum up Pogue’s carb. Just as today if you look into a carburetor, you can see varnish left over from the additives. It is good business if you car does not get good mileage, the oil company makes more money. If your car’s engine does not last as long because of additives, the car industry makes more profits. A win/win situation. At least for the oil and car companies. In 1936 when Pogue’s carburetor was announced, many people at the Winnipeg Exchange sold oil stocks. Oil stocks lost value overnight. Just some thoughts and observations
