It started out as a way to beat the 1973 oil crisis and ended up a scientific discovery every bit as revolutionary as relativity or quantum physics: proof that we and the world are all connected.

In the early 1970s, in the grip of the oil crisis, a handful of frontier scientists, in the course of trying to find an alternative to petrol as vehicle fuel, accidentally stumbled on an element of quantum physics that seemingly had enormous potential. The Zero Point Field, a field of unimaginably large quantum energy in the space between things – an ocean of microscopic vibrations – seemed to hold the answer to many of the big questions man has never had answers for. Here, in so-called 'dead space', lay the very key to life itself: to cell communication, to DNA, to strange effects like ESP or spiritual healing and even to that most elusive notion: the collective unconscious.

The story of their thrilling discovery is a thriller in its own right, involving the CIA, secret Russian testing sites, NASA space programmes and time travel, as a small band of men and women come to grips with the physics of the impossible.
