We know that colliding two particles in empty space can sometimes cause additional particles to emerge. There are even theories that a strong enough electromagnetic field could create matter and antimatter out of nothing itself.
Big Think reports, in early 2022, a group of researchers created strong enough electric fields in their laboratory to level the unique properties of a material known as graphene.
With these fields, the researchers were able to enable the spontaneous creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from nothing at all. This proved that creating matter from nothing is indeed possible, a theory first proposed by Julian Schwinger, one of the founders of quantum field theory. And with that knowledge, we can hopefully better understand how the universe makes something from nothing.

There’s a show!

Big believers in George Carlin’s “Big Electron”, sounds like to me.

"the spontaneous creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from nothing at all".
From energy.
To: BenLurkin
They did not create something from nothing.
They used machines to set up conditions in which to create something.

Since this was done in a powerful electromagnetic field, that energy field yielded matter, the reverse of burning matter to create energy. Matter and energy are related, and perhaps this experiment shows that they can be converted. That should surprise no one.

So how much can they make out of nothing? Nothing? Nonsense. They are poor replacements for God. Ex nihilo? Nonsense.

If it takes really, really, strong electric fields to create the pairs, then it seems like they’re not being created “from absolutely nothing” but rather from really, really strong electric fields. Possibly this isn’t so dissimilar from pair production (which can happen when gamma rays collide - and gamma rays are just bundles of electromagnetic energy).
