The quantum field is always active, ruled by quantum mechanics. Even in empty space, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle keeps it constantly bubbling and fluctuating. These quantum vacuum fluctuations are surprisingly complex. #QuantumPhysics #HeisenbergPrinciple #QuantumMechanics #VacuumFluctuations | Hot Culture Science Center

When quantum vacuum fluctuations are in a high-coherence phase the collective energy constructively sums to an extremely large value. Einstein field equations relate how energy or pressure (like of a fluid) bend spacetime and result in curved spacetime geometry. The high-coherence phase of quantum vacuum fluctuations at the core of the proton generate such a high spacetime curvature that it results in an event horizon, which encapsulates the vacuum energy and acts like a semi-permeable membrane.
