There are at least a few legitimate physicists that think that
it may be possible to tap the zero-point energy (which comes from
nowhere).
Remember that not that long ago most physicists didn't believe that
it was possible for a black hole to emit radiation, but now most
of them accept it. The ideas for how zero-point energy might
be tapped are similar. The books get balanced by a corresponding
loss of energy elsewhere (or perhaps elsewhen).
As far as I know, no one has yet proven that you *can't* borrow some
of the zero-point energy.
