The spacetime vacuum state is seething with particles constantly being created and destroyed, apparently “out of nothing”. But perhaps all this really tells us is that the quantum vacuum is (despite its name) a something rather than a nothing.

If Albert criticized this vacuous assertion, then I'm with him, I think.

But as to the "How Did Something Come Out of Nothing?" query I say: same way rocks can turn into people.

The universe is in a carbonated vacuum.... : )
