Whole Foods and Panera Bread are two companies that donate a lot of their left-over food to charities.

Zero vibrational states have zero vibration which is why they are called zero. Like your understanding of this complex issue.

Mathematically it is pure, and easy to understand from that standpoint. But it is against human experience and common sense since we don't really experience its consequences directly. Most things are not understood completely, gravitation we experience, it is a fact, we can accurate mathematically model it even with relativistic corrections. But the theory is lacking with respect that there is currently no proof of gravitational waves or gravitons.
