A rigorous detailed review of the concepts and calculations behind the acceleration of particles by the electromagnetic zero-point field is presented. The acceleration is enhanced in regions of great size and low particle density. Astrophysical scenarios are suggested and discussed and cosmological possibilities are briefly outlined. It is shown that the acceleration follows both from a semiclassical approach in the manner of Stochastic Electrodynamics and from quantum theory with a zero-point field that most naturally (but not necessarily) may be interpreted as time-symmetric in the manner of the Wheeler-Feynman form of Quantum Electrodynamics. It is shown that both approaches yield essentially identical results.
