What is Quantum foam?
'''Quantum foam''' (or '''space time foam''') is a [[concept]] in [[quantum mechanics]]. It was created by [[John Archibald Wheeler|John Wheeler]] in 1955. The ''foam'' is supposed to be thought of as the foundation of the things that make up the [[universe]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ldolphin.org/qfoam.html|title=Quantum foam|publisher=New Scientist|accessdate=29 June 2008}}</ref> The theory predicts that very small particles of matter and antimatter are constantly created and destroyed. These subatomic objects are called [[virtual particles]]. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Quantum mechanics]] {{sci-stub}}
