Anyway years ago my point however it's something I find very interesting.

....have you looked into
quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field? (The Casimir effect, describes the quantum vacuum as NOT empty but containing virtual particles that are continually fluctuating or in a state of flux. This manifests itself as a force which Casimir measured using the famous two plate experiment in a vacuum)
Its an interesting area of Physics, which kind of dispels the notion that you can have a perfect "NOTHING" state where there is literally and absolutely NOTHING in existence (matter or energy).
who knows?
