Here it is, from Mr. Heisenberg:

The counter is also true from the given inequality. The uncertainty of energy of empty space, given any arbitrary small time frame, approaches infinity as the time frame of the measurement approaches zero.

Nothing is inconsistent with the characteristics of reality. It's just that simple.

You're the one claiming they aren't metaphorical. trotsky Feb 2018 #17

I am also looking for that spiritual medium. guillaumeb Feb 2018 #19

Straw man. trotsky Feb 2018 #21

You project a lot. Act_of_Reparation Feb 2018 #46
