Would capitalism be finished if scientists found a way to tap

Yes just as marx and my sociol Sciences professor predicted.

Worst. Energy density. Ever.

No...
It would just get started...

Hopefully no.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a gulag.

All current sources of energy are functionally infinite given a planned economy.

I thought vacuum energy couldn't be used for work? Also, serious question, wouldn't zero-point energy be perpetual energy?

In that case capitalism would go into hyperdrive because whichever nation discovered it first would be post(energy)-scarcity an call the shots until others discovered it. Then things would probably get weird since capitalism requires finite resources. There'd still be limited food/water/etc but prices would tank because energy cost is a big part of most expenses. Terabit internet would probably be cheap and bitcoin miners would snort cocaine off of hookers.

Also I guess physicists would rejoice since ZPE would mean we could avoid heat death locally indefinitely + space travel would be much easier (assuming memedrive can produce thrust or we could just use an electrothermal rocket)

Especially human suffering. With a planned economy that "resource" will go sky high.

No. Scarcity exists independent from the means of production.
