Empty space may really be empty. Though quantum theory suggests that a vacuum should be fizzing with particle activity, it turns out that this paradoxical picture of nothingness may not be needed. A calmer view of the vacuum would also help resolve a nagging inconsistency with dark energy, the elusive force thought to be speeding up the expansion of the universe.

"Yes, this is important and agrees generally with my theory of the vacuum SU3 SU2 superconductor condensate. It also means there is not a lot of natural ambient zero point energy inside the vacuum to be tapped for propulsion as we originally thought - without some artificial amplification like the n^4 effect I have speculated about using nano-engineered superconducting meta-materials." -- Jack Sarfatti
