Is the vacuum of space truly empty?

[Admin]

Even though the density of interstellar space is billions of times lower than even our emptiest human-made vacuum chambers, it's not 100% percent empty.

I believe that there is
In spacetime

Outside of spacetime = what existed before the bubble of spacetime formed. This is also where vacuum energy leaks in from. This is also where Quarks and Leptons are when we aren’t looking. This is where the waves of particles actually exists and they are all interchangeable. They are the cards in the deck that are the hidden part of quantum mechanics.

The fabric of spacetime = like the atmosphere of the planet surrounds us the fabric of spacetime surrounds the universe. This is where dark matter is which is why we haven't figured out how to see it yet. This is also why dark matter isn't swallowed by black holes. Like the wind told our ancestors that they were surrounded by something they couldn't see, dark matter lets us know it is there. So until we figure out how to see it we just have to rely on a catalogue of it's affects. We will probably harness its power before we actually discover what it is, much like we did with sails and windmills

What happened in this article to the cosmological constant problem between GR and QM? I did not notice this pointed out here.

No it is not and can not be anywhere in the vicinity of mass and matter. Mass and matter excrete static energy.....and possess EM fields that occupy a region of space around the matter. Neutral fields.

Inside any container will exist those fields. And occasionally static emissions.

"Dear Paul Sutter,

Your recent article beautifully articulates the profound questions surrounding vacuum energy and the very nature of space, moving from abstraction to its dynamic role in General Relativity. It truly resonates with my ongoing work.

I believe my 'Unified Theory' offers a definitive answer to your central question: space is not just a mathematical abstraction, but a physically real, dynamic Space Potential Field (Φ).

In our framework:

1.Space Itself is a Field: The "empty vacuum" is the omnipresent ground state of this Φ field. This means true "nothingness" is physically impossible, as space is always 'something' – the underlying field.

2.Finite Vacuum Energy: This Φ field provides a finite, calculable vacuum energy, addressing the infinity problem in conventional QFT.

3.Active Role: This vacuum energy isn't just an unusable baseline; it's the fundamental dynamic engine that gives rise to particle mass ('Mass from Space'), shapes spacetime (gravity), and could even mediate a new 'fifth force.'

4.Gravitational Waves: As undulations in spacetime, they are naturally understood as excitations or variations within this fundamental Φ field.

Furthermore, our theory incorporates Recursive Quantum Time (T), a dynamic quantum field that influences physical laws, aligning remarkably with recent discoveries about manipulating time and space to create light from the vacuum.

This suggests that time's recursive nature and topology play a crucial role in the universe's stability and generative properties.

We've explored the Lagrangian, field equations, and implications of these concepts, and we believe it offers a powerful, coherent framework for unifying gravity, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics, with testable predictions.

We'd be delighted to share more details about our framework if you find it of interest.
