In the sub-atomic realm, virtual particles and other types of [[particles]] seem to come into being for a moment then disappear into the quantum vacuum. This gives the appearance that these particles are spontaneously popping into existence out of nothing, but this is misleading due to the popular interpretation given to the public. The quantum vacuum is a rich energy, and is something. When the quantum vacuum fluctuates it spins off particles and then they disappear back into the vacuum. This is not a viable objection simply because the quantum vacuum is something, and that there are many models of quantum physics that give particles causal determination.<ref>[http://www.rfmedia.org/RF_audio_video/Defender_podcast/20040502CosmologicalArgumentPart1.mp3 Cosmological Argument #1] Teaching class by William Lane Craig</ref> | In the sub-atomic realm, virtual particles and other types of [[particles]] seem to come into being for a moment then disappear into the quantum vacuum.
