Cosmic energy may refer to:

Contents

Philosophy and religion

  • Cosmic energy--the translation into English by Sir John Woodroffe of the term Shakti in Hindu tantra, based on the Hindu philosophy known as Kashmir Shaivism; a term for spiritual energy; also referred to as prana; thought in Hindu philosophy to be the source of kundalini; identified by some New Age authors with the quantum vacuum zero point energy

Science

  • Cosmic energy (Cosmology)--the cosmic microwave background radiation, the leftover radiation from the big bang
  • Cosmic energy (General theory of relativity)--the cosmological constant, thought to be the cause of the expansion of the universe (Hubble expansion); referred to in quantum physics as the quantum vacuum zero point energy, which manifests as the Casimir force; referred to in physical cosmology as dark energy; referred to as free energy by various inventors who have been attempting to find a way to harness it to do work, even though physical laws as presently understood state that that is an impossibility (although Arthur C. Clarke stated he thought it would eventually be possible)
