I don't know about Zero Point Energy, but I know in the case of Hawking Radiation, when energy is "created" and emitted from a black hole, it's because a particle containing negative energy was also created at the same time and fell into the black hole, causing it to lose mass. There is no net change of energy, so it's not really created.
thats the basic point , isnt it
that when we say " you cant create energy " , what we really mean is , " we cant add to the average energy "
we can have as much " energy " as we want , as long as half of it is opposite to the other half
we live in a zero energy universe
the net energy of our universe = zero
and as long as the net remains at zero , we can have as much of everything as we want ....
