Then we won't discuss how virtual particle pairs appear spontaneously from the neutral vacuum! Please don't, I do not think I could handle that much nonsense this early in the morning.
By the way, want to buy a bridge?

Then we won't discuss how virtual particle pairs appear spontaneously from the neutral vacuum! Oh, let's do! I'm a little fuzzy on that myself. The vacuum has energy, and "contains" space--so technically it's not "nothing." Right? Or am I confused?
Can't we say that even the pre-Big Bang singularity had--at a minimum--mass, and so was not "nothing?"
If you can explain the phenomenon of vacuum energy in layman's terms, I would appreciate it.

I guess that's one way to avoid uncomfortable facts. Take comfort in your ignorance by declaring knowledge to be "nonsense".
