The Nature of Space (vacuum)

SPACE (vacuum) is alive with quantum flotations.

By Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle you can study the balance of time and energy.

If you slow down time in a very small volume of space we lose information about energy,

however there could be enough energy to create particles literally out of nowhere, provided they went away somewhere quickly. 

The packets of energy appear and disappear very quickly.

Durac's equation lead to idea of anti-electron. 

If anti-electron met an electron they would release all their energy, disappearing completely.

When an electron appears in space the anti-electron also appears.

"Within nothingness there is a kind of fizzing, a dynamic dance as pairs of particles and anti-particles borrow energy from the vacuum for brief moments before annihilating each other and paying it back again" 

"the vacuum goes from being nothing to being a place absolutely teeming with matter and anti-matter creation"  This is called quantum field theory.  These particles that come from nothing are known as virtual particles. 

William Lamb showed experimentally that these virtual particles cause the electrons in an atoms orbit to wobble.
