I have difficulty with the concept of a true vacuum. I am more inclined to believe that some "thing" exists every "where" - even in what we might call a vacuum.
One way of combining Eintein's revolutionary theories is to conclude that All space and matter and energy are all the same One "stuff". Einstein spent the last years of his life searching, in vain, for the answer to what this One "stuff" was -- The Theory of Everything.
All of which skates dangerous close to being syncretic with certain ancient cosmological systems concerning the idea that All is One.
Ancient sages surmised that this One that is All emanated five elements -- air, water, fire, earth, and space [which they called ether] -- of which All is composed. Time, rather that being a sixth element, was simply a mental construct that man invented to help him grasp the unlimited nature of the All that emanated from, yet still is the One.
I can not gasp that All is One - that grandfather, father, I, and even my future descendants are One -- hence, I will invent Time to break up this Unknowable All into an infinity of discontiguous Is -- the essense of dualism -- with the Unknowable One now being perceived as some thing separate from I - and with I being further separated into yesterday's I, today's I, and tomorow's I.
One African mathematician, Gabriel A. Oyibo, has written a proof that All is One. He explains it for the layman in this way:
...the universe originated from and continues to exist as a unified wave force field called God or Spirit. The concentration of this wave force field is called matter, which is proved to have hydrogen atom as its fundamental building block... This theorem, hence, unifies the three popular accounts of the origin of the universe by concluding that, God's Word (Holy Books), was the Big Bang (Science), which sounded like the Roaring Waters of Nun (Ancient Africans), since all three accounts have waves as a common building blocks.
The Kybalion states this differently, more concisely, using the word vibration instead of waves --
All Is Vibration. The idea, here, is that All "things" are the same "thing" -- vibration. Matter, space, and energy differ only in that they vibrate at different rates. How does Man create a nuclear explosion? He causes matter, refined uranium, to vibrate at a faster and faster rate until it becomes energy.
