	~~I have been married to my wonderful wife Marilyn for more than 28 years. We have three grown sons, four granddaughters~~ and ~~a toy poodle! We live~~ in ~~the beautiful City of~~ Spokane ~~in the State of~~ Washington~~, in the Pacific Northwest Corner of the contiguous United States~~. ~~I have been active in New Covenant Fellowship for almost thirty years. I play~~ the ~~'cello~~ and ~~am learning~~ the ~~violin~~ and the ~~piano; however, inventing things is my all-consuming major hobby;~~		'''Scott Smith''' (born 1957) is an American independent researcher and author based in Spokane, Washington. He works outside the institutional science community on topics including [[Zero Point Energy]], [[Expanding Earth]] theory, cryogenics and space propulsion, and he has proposed concepts he calls the Zero-Point Energy Craft (Z-PEC) and the Theory of Little Pops (LPD).

	I have quite a few college credits, but could not finish my first degree in music education due to health issues that have continually plagued me; nonetheless, I have used my time well. I read voluminously, mostly technical literature. I have accumulated quite a few credits in Math, Science and miscellaneous mechanical & electronic engineering classes. When I can't think of anything new to think about, I read patents online!		==Biography==

	~~As far back as I can remember, I have had a burning thirst to learn anything and everything about Space and to somehow go there myself! I~~ was born in summer of 1957, ~~just~~ before the launch of Sputnik~~, when Earth still had only one Satellite! People talked about Sputnik for years! Some of my~~ earliest memories ~~recall the early days~~ of the first ~~rockets blowing up on~~ the ~~launchpad! I remember how amazed everyone was when John Glenn~~ and ~~Alan Shepherd bravely each climbed aboard their Rockets~~. ~~We all held our breath, dreading the moment when they too would blow up!!!~~		Smith was born in the summer of 1957, shortly before the launch of Sputnik. He has described a lifelong fascination with space and space travel dating from his earliest memories of the first rocket launches and crewed spaceflights of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

	As I grew older it soon became apparent to me that the Space Program was needlessly complex and many times too expensive. It is astonishing that we ever made it to the Moon even once, with so many special interests tripping over each other to get a ~~piece~~ of ~~the money! I~~ began ~~to realize~~, ~~if I~~ was ~~going~~ to go to ~~Space~~, ~~I was going to have to invent my own ride!!! My three boys~~ who ~~were still~~ in ~~grade school came up with the acronym SCOTTY!~~		Smith accumulated a number of college credits and began a degree in music education, but was unable to complete it because of persistent health issues; he identifies as physically disabled. He has continued to study independently, describing himself as a voluminous reader of technical literature who has also earned credits in mathematics, science, and mechanical and electronic engineering, and who reads patents as a pastime.

	~~Smiths' Coolest Outer-space Transportation Technology Yet !~~		Smith is a musician who plays the cello and has studied the violin and piano. He has been active in the New Covenant Fellowship for several decades. He lives in Spokane, Washington, with his wife, Marilyn; the couple have three grown sons and four granddaughters.

	I came up with a lot of really creative ideas of my own and considered the ideas of others! I looked into all sorts of so-called alternative science; nonetheless, Z-PEC & LPD are my first major ideas that are based entirely on conventional scientific norms and existing technologies ! ! !		==Work==

	~~Now my three little boys~~ are ~~three strong men who are eligible for~~ the ~~draft~~ and ~~wars loom as far as~~ the ~~eye can see~~. ~~I am really hoping that~~ Z-PEC ~~will help World Peace by ending~~ reliance on fossil fuels. ~~We can use some~~ of ~~that money to build a world economy that is based on abundance rather than on contrived shortages and planned obsolescence! We will be able to inexpensively travel anywhere on Earth~~ in ~~a few short hours; hopefully~~, ~~people will take~~ the ~~time to get to know each other voluntarily before they have to get acquainted on a battlefield!~~		Smith describes himself as an inventor whose principal aim has been to develop a simpler and less expensive means of reaching space than conventional rocketry. He and his sons coined the acronym SCOTTY, standing for "Smiths' Coolest Outer-space Transportation Technology Yet," for this line of work.

			His two ideas that he considers his first major concepts based on conventional scientific principles and existing technology are the Zero-Point Energy Craft (Z-PEC) and the Theory of Little Pops (LPD). Smith frames Z-PEC as an effort to draw on [[Zero Point Energy]] as a power source, and has expressed the hope that such technology could reduce reliance on fossil fuels. His related papers address quantum-vacuum propulsion, the [[Casimir effect]], and proposals concerning the handling of spent nuclear fuel.

			These concepts have not been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals or independently validated, and lie outside the scientific mainstream.
